Generally speaking, WinPCap does not work with wireless (wifi) adapters. Their FAQ mentions that *SOME* (but not very many and certainly not all) wireless adapters *MAY* (i.e. *MIGHT*) work with WinPCap, but there's no guarantee. It's basically a crapshoot: https://www.winpcap.org/misc/faq.htm#Q-16 At one time they used to maintain a list of wireless adapters that users reported as either working or not working with WinPCap, but they've apparently taken it down. I found a copy on the Internet Archive's "Way Back" machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20070701182942/http://www.micro-logix.com/WinPcap/Supported.asp Any/ALL physically *wired* network adapters however should always work with CTCI-WIN (and thus Hercules networking), and since they're so cheap these days that's generally what I advise doing. -- "Fish" (David B.
