Re: [ES40-announcements] network adapter specification

Oh, I forgot one important piece of information:

In the configuration file, comment out the line that specifies the adapter, and you'll get a list of adapters to choose from. The name of the adapter in this list is what you should put in the configuration file. This only works if you bypass UAC in one of the two ways I described.

Hello Jean-François,

On Windows Vista, it looks like UAC gets in the way of Winpcap.

What works for me, is either disabling UAC completely, or starting a command line by right-clicking it, and choosing “run as administrator”. It’s not enough to be logged in as an administrator.

To disable UAC completely (and get rid of a lot of annoying “are you sure you want to do this and does your mother-in-law agree too?” warnings), do the following:

1. Launch MSCONFIG by from the Run menu.
2. Click on the Tools tab. Scroll down till you find "Disable UAC" . Click on that line.
3. Press the Launch button.
4. A CMD window will open. When the command is done, you can close the window. 
5. Close MSCONFIG. You need to reboot the computer for changes to apply.

Good luck!

Camiel.

Hi all …

The template configuration file states :

    // VARIABLE: adapter
    //
    // Defines the host computer's adapter to use for the emulated NIC. If you're unsure
    // of this, start the emulator without this variable set, and you will be presented
    // with a list of adapters to choose from. You can enter the name indicated on this 
    // line.
    //
    // Windows syntax:
    // adapter = "\Device\NPF_{F266CDC2-6BA2-43D8-8B00-1C468F737ED7}"

How can I find this on Windows (Vista ☹)

Thanks for your contribution
Jean-François
