NPcap does not see interfaces/adapters after installation on Windows Server 2012 until reboot. #402
Comments
Duplicate of nmap/nmap#664. This is something we would like to fix in the future. |
Strongly disagree. It is not a duplicate of nmap/nmap#664. Restarting NPcap does not fix this problem. |
I also think this not a duplicate of #664. I had similar issue on Windows 2012 (it seems to be limited only to 2012). The only thing that helped beside system reboot was reseting the particular interface or just "NPFInstall.exe -r". Can you reopen this case? |

Thanks everyone for reporting this. We definitely made a mistake in closing this issue. In order to better debug this issue, I need the output from:

Attaching NPFInstall.log after installing and running NPFInstall.exe -r |
Attaching DiagReport collected after installing (before running NPFInstall.exe -r or rebooting the machine): |
@zuraff Thanks, this is helpful. Do you or anyone know if any previous Npcap release did not have this problem? |

I see one discrepancy that I would like to investigate if you can give me a little more information:
To be clear, I would appreciate all of this debug info from anyone who is experiencing this problem, not only @zuraff . |

Ok, we have a diagnosis. This was something that actually came up back in 2013 during early Npcap development. There is a bug in Windows 8 and Server 2012 such that a NDIS filter driver with a As a fix, future installers will run |
This issue is fixed in Npcap 0.99-r6. |

For the same use case work perfectly OK on Windows Server 2016/Windows 10.
I have tried to stop/start NPcap driver using sc stop/start npcap - it doesn't help. I need some workaround of this problem (from C++ code or command line).
