WinPcap and Wine

[K01]

Hey Everyone!

I know this topic has been going on a lot and i search every ware for the problem i facing trying to find any solutions.
i have a Windows application that required WinPcap to be installed to run correctly.

i read someone saying it is imposable to do! and other has find a way around it (Bug 21571).
and i think Wine now has wrappers for the pcap but it did not work!

it will appreciated for any advice about the Wine and WinPcap current situation.

Thanks!

It should work, wine has a wrapper for wpcap. What program are you trying to run?

something like Wireshark, when i install Wireshark i can't find any interfaces on it to capture the packets.

when i install WinPcap it show an error in the installation process:
"an error occurred while installing the Microsoft Network Monitor Drive (NetMon)"

- Note: the program is not Wireshark, but if Wireshark worked the program that i'm using will work.

Isn't a linux program an alternative? Such programs aren't easy on wine.

Wine contains a builtin replacement for winpcap (wpcap.dll). You shouldn't need to install the Windows version, and it won't work.

For wine's pcap replacement to work, you will need libpcap to be present (including a 32-bit version, if your windows program is 32-bit) and configured for your user. You will also need Wine to be built with pcap support, which you can check by looking for wpcap.dll.so in /usr/lib/wine and /usr/lib64/wine.
