I think we should include the WinPcap.exe installer with
the Kaboodle installer *only if* we can use the "passive detection"
capabilities that winpcap provides. IE, sniffing for ethernet
frames with new MAC addresses is a good way to detect that something
new has joined the LAN. This is what "arpwatch" does.

Is it fairly straightforward to put this "Hidden device"
code into our main code branch? I noticed it doesn't use the NID
or the registry for managing the list, but used text files in
the application directory instead (yucko).

I agree the current LAN discovery features are better. I've
not been able to get the "passive detection" part in this alternate
source to work either.
Before you work too much more on this, please review the
"priority work list" I sent you last night in a separate email.
cheers,
