[WinPcap-users] About Multithreading

[J. Thomsen]

Hello.   For quite some time i've been using a bridge built on winpcap. The bridge is multithreaded, one thread only reads, the other one only writes, and except for a few lockups it has worked fine for years. Now, from previous post i understand that one can open multiple handles to the same adapter at the same time without problem. My bridge has always just opened it once, and passed this adapter handle to both the reader and writer thread, meaning that the two threads read and write to/from it simultaniously. Could this be the reason for the lockups ? (its rare but it happens)   Thanks J. Thomsen
