I have been working on Product Ethernet(miniport ndis driver) on beta
version of WINDOWS CE 5.0 . I am using smsc ethernet controller
smsc91c111. The driver is working fine, but when I ping the host from
the target, the target is able to recoginse the ARP reply from host ie
able to store the MAC address of host, but after that, when it puts in
ICMP Echo request, though the host replies it back(as can be seen from
sniffer) and event he ethernet driver is able to receive the packet
,but still it says

PING: transmit failed, error code 11010

So what I feel is that the driver is not able to communicate the ICMP
packet to protocol stack but is able to communicate the ARP packet.

When I ping my target from host, again the sniffer shows that at my
host I am receiving ARP reply but the ICMP echo request is not replied
back. So I feel some problem is there in in the binding with protocol
stack..

The registry I am using is:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\LAN9000]
"DisplayName"="SMC LAN91C111 Ethernet"
"Group"="NDIS"
"ImagePath"="LAN91C111.DLL"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\LAN9000\Linkage]
"Route"=multi_sz:"LAN90001"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\LAN90001]

"TcpWindowSize"=dword:FFFFFF
"MTU"=dword:5d0

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TcpIp\Linkage]
"Bind"=multi_sz:"LAN90001"

Also the ipconfig /all shows:

804389 PID:b71833e TID:b718362 Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

804624 PID:b71833e TID:b718362 Proxy Enabled...... : NO

And the ping from target shows:

732454 PID:eb718362 TID:eb71833e 0x8b718cf0: iphlpapi: Unable to open
IP device driver

741536 PID:eb718362 TID:eb71833e PING: transmit failed, error code
11010

I feel the problem may be due to this unable to open IP device driver
but I have the tcpstk in place. Also the IP and TCP protocols are
registered:
