 Post subject: Proxocket loaded but not generating packet log

I would like to create a "mini firewall" for a game against certain types of malformed UDP packets using Proxocket. I have placed both DLLs in the directory of the application but it does not generate any packet logs. i ran a dependency check on the exe (using PE explorer) and it turns out it loaded both of the DLLs from the same directory. This is very puzzling because I needed to see if this works before i begin my work on the "myproxocket" filter.
b/w I am running win 7 (idk if it matters).

uhmmm very strange.
is your win7 at 64bit?
if you are 100% sure that the files are loaded correctly this can be the only reason.
then it's enough (and better) to use only ws2_32.dll and not both

my win7 is 32 bit. i did as you said but to no avail. i tried only ws2_32.dll and it didn't work. i tried wsock32.dll by it self and it didn't work. and i tried both of them and it didn't work. :-(

i ran again another dependency scanner that comes with microsoft visual studio 6 and that gave me same results that it loads up both DLLs and if one is missing from the folder then it loads it from the system32 folder.

by the way, what will the generated cap file be named when it is generated?

I don't have idea why win7 doesn't use it even if it loads it, maybe it's a security feature added in this OS and maybe it's possible to remove it by using the same pseudo-fix of win-vista:
"if you have Vista and the local ws2_32/wsock32 dlls are not loaded try to set the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\DevOverrideEnable" to 1"

but sincerely I have no idea.

the cap file will have a proxocket+date as name, for example:
proxocket_05.jan.2010-15.15.42.cap

that was my first thought, to check registry for same issue but field doesnt exists and i created one and restarted and still no good. I posted my problems on a bunch of windows forums, when/if i find an answer i'll post the remedy here as well.
