REMOVE WINPCAP WINDOWS 10 INSTALL
REMOVE WINPCAP WINDOWS 10 DRIVER

The AirPcap family is an open, affordable and easy-to-deploy wireless packet capture solution for MS Windows environments.

AirPcap can be installed on Windows XP/Vista/7/8/10 environment, 32-bit version. And according to the Riverbed support team. I'm going to reinstall WinPcap for the time being, but will of course try out whatever you suggest, and will send more docmentation upon request. According to the Riverbed AirPcap website, Windows 10 is not listed as supported.

I tried both, installing npcap in 'WinPcap API-compatible mode', and in non-compatible mode.

Accessing the internet from Windows works in any case, so the problem seems to occur with the virtual adapter(s), only.

Connection to Archlinux guest thereafter succeeds even without Wireshark running, until Windows is rebooted.

Pings are now seen in Wireshark, and pings are now responded by Archlinux guest.

Stopping the VNET1 trace and starting a second time resolves the network problem.

Tracing the VNET1 adapter with Wireshark does not help the VNET1 network.

Tracing the WLAN adapter with Wireshark works but does not help the VNET1 network.

A ping to Archlinux (192.168.111.111) succeeds in every scenartio with WinPCap, but is blocked (timeout) with npcap.

So it is not shutdown across (re-)installs, or Windows reboots.

The Archlinux guest is suspended, then restarted.

If network monitoring is disabled for the Sensor (from the Sensor Properties page in the UI), then the service is not started.

This command sets the WinPCap driver service ( npf) to start on demand and not at startup. So it is definitely a problem with npcap. To disable the WinPCap driver from autostart, run the following command as an administrator: sc config npf startdemand.

Then uninstall WinPCap, and install npcap again, and the problem is back. I uninstalled npcap and reinstalled WinPCap, and everthing works as desired. Since changing to npcap, the Archlinux VMWare guest cannot be reached from the Windows host until Wireshark is started and a trace of the VNET1 adapter is started twice! This all worked fine until I changed from WinPCap 4.1.3 to npcap 1.10. Archlinux as VMWare guest connected via 'Host only network' (VNET1 adapter), IP4 192.168.111.0/24 and host IP 192.168.111.111.
