XP SP2 problem -- Network adapter icon disappears from network connections
Posted by James Yonan on April 1st, 2004


I've got an NDIS 5 virtual miniport adapter (installed by devcon from
the DDK build 3790) that currently runs fine on Win2K, XP SP1, and
Server 2003. However on XP SP2 beta, the adapter icon fails to appear
in the network connections control panel and also does not appear in
'ipconfig' even though the adapter appears to be present on the system
in the sense that the device driver is active.

Is this a known problem?

This is usually the result of the miniport not responding correctly to
some OID requests that the system makes. Run NDISTest against your
virtual miniport and make sure there are no complaints on OIDs. See
e.g.
