How do I enable the SNF winpcap.dll on Windows?

If you already have an existing standard WinPcap wpcap.dll library installed on the machine, then prior to installing, for example, WinDump or Wireshark, you need to prepend the folder SNF_Myri-10G\lib to your PATH in order for Wireshark/WinDump to locate the advanced dll.

[ set PATH=c:\SNF_Myri-10G\lib;%PATH% ]

After the WireShark installation has completed, run wireshark.exe and verify in the Help->About box that it is running the Sniffer-Only wpcap.dll. You should see text such as "based on SNFv3 libpcap". If this text is not present, wireshark may not have located the Sniffer-only wpcap.dll. Please copy the Sniffer wpcap.dll into the C:\opt\wireshark folder and restart wireshark.

Note:  WinPcap support is only available in the Sniffer10G v3 software.
