NDIS on winxp

Hello,

I'm new to using NDIS and figuring out what I can and can't do with it.

A fair amount of documentation refers to structures and funcs defined in
Nuiouser.h. This header seems to be available for my Win CE and pocket PC
SDK's, but not for my general winxp environment on a laptop/notebook. So my
question is, how do I get the same functionality for my general winxp
environment? I'm not doing any device driver development, I just want to
query information from local adapters. Do I need to get the DDK from
Microsoft just for doing simple queries? Everything for NDIS seems very
oriented to handheld mobile devices, but I want to get some information for
wireless devices on a laptop running XP as well.

Thanks,
Andrew

For querying Network adaptors, you can use IP Helper API's like
GetAdaptorInfo( ), GetNetworkParam s and host of other functions. These set of
API's are also available in CE and pocketpc platform.

You can also use WMI from Windows 2000 onwards.

This question also helped in my developement and thanks from me too.

I Just have one more question relating to that , Why do we require NDIS
driver (what I got from specs is that this is also used for controlling
the network adapters).
Where is the difference between there usage ??

I have earlier used an HttpModule that did URL rewrites on the BeginRequest event. Now I am trying to use the same module in a different application on a new and upgraded machine (winxp sp2). The Module is registered via Web.config. The registration is OK. When asking for an existing .aspx page, the eventhandler is called as it should. HOWEVER - if the request url is for a non-existant file, I get a 404 - file

Hi, Does anyone have experience with NDIS drivers? I need to either write or find an NDIS driver that will allow my user-mode application to selectively DROP packets before they hit the TCP/IP stack. In addition I would like to SEND out new raw packets. I'm sure many people have developed such drivers, but I don't know of any. Ideally, I would like the source code for such a driver, or some help developing one. Thanks! Richard

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
