Hi.

Does anyone know of a group policy/security setting that limits/stops
winpcap from accessing the NIC's in the client machines?
ie I want to stop winpcap from possibly running on XP machines.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The user probably needs to be a local administrator to install it so if your
users are not local administrators then should not be able to install it.
Otherwise look at using Software Restriction Policies to prevent the
installation or running of unauthorized software as described in the link
below with hash or path rules. --- Steve
