Pcap.net in Windows 7 64-bit about pcap.net HOT 6 CLOSED

Ah, problem temporarily solved by:

Setting project platform taget to x86 Disabling IPv6 on ALL devices.

However, should it not just ignore those devices with IPv6 enabled rather than just throwing an error disabling the LivePacketDevice.AllLocalMachine entierly? Or better yet, returning all devices, supported or not, and then throw error on PacketDevice.Open
instead.

Looking forward to the next release!
Keep up the good work!

By the way, you can disable IPv6 support from the network device in Winodws 7 and try using Pcap.Net.

NotImplementedException should not be thrown when IPv6 is disabled.

Note that IPv6 devices support is a different issue than Windows 7 Support.
Windows 7 enables IPv6 support by default.
Pcap.Net doesn't support it in version 0.4.0 (it will be supported in the next version).

However, Windows 7 support will be supported by upgrading to WinPcap version 4.1.1 in the next version of Pcap.Net.

The reason for that this Pcap.Net version is not released yet is due to an issue with WinPcap version 4.1.1.

When setting target platform to x86 I recieve the following error when calling LivePacketDevice.AllLocalMachine:

System.NotImplementedException was unhandled

The fix for will use WinPcap 4.1.1 to support Windows 7.

try to build your application for x86 platform. It should be supported by Windows 7.
