Hi,

I'm new in win drivers and have the following problem:

I compiled and installed the passthru sample as discribed in the
passthru.htm but i can't see new (virtual) devices.
ipconfig /all doesn't help too.
I can find them in Device Manager when I click "Show hidden devices".

The NDIS Virtual Miniport Driver (netvmini) works as expected (the virtual
devices appear)

Is it a feature or is there something wrong?
What could be the problem?

Sandro

The Passthru driver is a "filter". It binds to the lower-level NIC miniport
below it and then exposes one virtual miniport above it.

For all practical purposes the system sees only the Passthru driver's
upper-edge virtual miniport; the actual lower-level NIC miniport is hidden.

So, Passthru doesn't add to the count of NICs visible in the Network Control
Panel or enumerated by IPCONFIG.

NDIS IM filters just sit in between NICs and protocols and filter the
traffic - although they do show up under
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E 972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002bE10318},
bound protocols do not think of them as of virtual adapters. If you want your
IM to be treated as a virtual adapter, you have to write it not as a filter
but as a multiplexer (i.e. MUX sample)....
