Re: Problem loading ndis6 light weight filter sample in WDK.

Calvin,

I have a NDIS 6 LWF that I just installed on Vista 5600 (RC1). Its remote ancestor is the WDK filter sample. It is currently loaded using something like SNetCfg instead of the control panel, but the LWF certainly installs OK.

There were some NDIS hiccups between Beta 2 and RC1. Some fields were added to some data structures, etc. "Net" result was that some Vista WDK/OS combinations would not work correctly - but I don't recall a failure at install time.

I recommend that you use the RC1 WDK and Vista RC1.

Good luck,

recent Vista build? I tried to load the sample on top of my ndis6 miniport driver on Vista 5520 by following the instructions in the code tour but the installer hung and I have to reboot.

Before I spend time in debugging the problem, I want to know if there is any gotcha I should have paid attention to. Being relatively unfamiliar with Ndis IM driver, debugging this issue will be difficult since there is absolutely no os symbol for that build.

Tom, Max, Stephan or other folks, have you tried that?

Thanks in advance.
