Q-28: Does WinPcap work on Windows Vista?
A:
WinPcap 3.1: The installer is able to correctly detect and install the product on Microsoft Windows Vista Beta1 (x86). However WinPcap has not been fully tested on this newly released operating system, since Windows Vista Beta1 was released less than two weeks before WinPcap 3.1. No other builds of Vista have been tested.
Additionally, the support for this operating system is limited. In particular, these are the known limitations:
Capturing from dialup/VPN adapters is disabled.
No support for IPv6 (update: WinPcap 4.0 beta3).
WinPcap can fail listing the adapters if the TCP/IP protocol stack is not enabled.
WinPcap 4.0 beta2: The installer is able to correctly detect and install the product on Microsoft Windows Vista Beta2 (x86). No other builds of Vista (RC1, RC2) have been tested.

WinPcap 4.0 beta3: The installer is able to correctly detect and install the product on Microsoft Windows Vista RTM (x86). No other builds of Vista (BETA1, BETA2, RC1, RC2) have been tested. Moreover, capturing from dialup/VPN adapters is not supported.
Previous WinPcap versions: No support for Vista.
Windows Vista (x64): This version of Windows is not supported at the moment by any version of WinPcap. Do not try to force the WinPcap installation into compatibility mode. It will not work.
好象也不支持delphi
Q-8: Can I use WinPcap with Borland development tools?
A: Note first of all that we support only Microsoft Visual C++, so we are not able to provide help about other compilers.
If you want to use to Use WinPcap under C++ Builder (version 5.0), you have to use the program COFF2OMF.EXE which can be find in the directory of BORLAND. This program gives the possibility to convert Packet.lib and wpcap.lib (which are in the Visual C++ standart, COFF) to the OMF standart, the one of C++ Builder. For more information type COFF2OMF in the Help of C++ Builder.
Syntax (in a DOS console) :
COFF2OMF input.lib output.lib
In this case case Input.lib = wpcap.lib or packet.lib
