Wireshark · Ethereal-users: Re: FW: [Ethereal-users] 64 bit machines

["Gianluca Varenni" <gianluca.varenni@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all.


I can confirm that at the moment WinPcap does *not* support Windows 64 bit 
edition (either Itanium and x86-64). We are thinking of adding support for 
it in the future, but no plan has been defined yet.

Have a nice day
GV

This is probably a WinPcap problem.  As per my mail, they might not
support 64-bit Windows, even for 32-bit applications (WinPcap includes
kernel code, as it has to include a driver to connect to NDIS to do
packet capture); you could ask them on the winpcap-users mailing list:

http://www.winpcap.org/contact.htm

although they've noted that it probably needs changes, and that they
have no 64-bit machines on which to do development:
