Hi, I've gone thru the wiki info. I have and use Wireshark no problem. I currently manually start the WinPcap driver (aka NPF), use Wireshark, and then manually stop the driver. Is there a way to have this driver start automatically when I launch Wireshark? I read that this driver can be set to start when I turn on pc, but I don't need things running in the background. Thanks asked 23 Jun '15, 14:29  sharksurf |
One Answer:
From command prompt, type the following.... sc config npf start= auto answered 23 Jun '15, 15:02  Rooster_50 |
Or see the answer from Kurt Knochner who previously answered this very same question.
The NPF driver isn't running
If I enter in command prompt: sc config npf start= auto won't that automatically start the driver at pc startup?
I am looking for a way to automatically start the driver upon launching Wireshark.
I guess the only way you can get it to load the driver and start Wireshark at the same time would be to script it.
