Hi, I am using the Virtnet Apapter (http://www.ntkernel.com/w&p.php?id=32) my Problem is that the Adapter doesn't appear in the Registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards so it's not possible to adjust the order of my network components in the way I need them. The Virtnet Card should be before my TV Tuner Card and after my standard LAN card. normaly I can handle this by renaming the folder Icon in the REG but now teh Virt-card is always the last card in system so I have to disable nearly all cards to get VIRTNET to second position. when using the MS-Loopback Adapter I can change the order, but MS-Loopback doesn't have the other thinsg I need from a network card;-( maybe ist simble by some add ons to install INF file: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ; netVIRTNET.INF ; ; Dual .INF file for VirtNet Network Adapter ; ; Copyright NT Kernel Resources © 2005 [version] signature="$CHICAGO$" Class=Net ClassGUID = {4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318} Provider=%Mfg% Compatible = 1 DriverVer = 12/04/2005, 1.0.0.0 ; Millenium exclusive suffix MillenniumPreferred = .me ;CatalogFile = ... add for WHQL ...
