Installing WinPcap 4.0

WinPcap is used by Symbian platform's Ethernet Physical Device Driver (PDD) to send and receive ethernet frames.

The library is a Windows port of the libpcap library used by the tcpdump program on Unix and Linux.

The emulator works with version 4.0 of WinPcap. 4.0-WinPcap.exe is freeware and can be downloaded from http://www.winpcap.org/.

Note: Disclaimer: Symbian platform gives NO guarantees to the state and usability of WinPcap, and will not be liable for any damage and/or loss caused during/after the driver is installed
.

It is important that only one copy of WinPcap is installed at once. Use 'Control Panel >> Add Remove Programs' to uninstall any existing copies of the software before installing the new one.
