Do you use win8 network debugging during WHCK test?

I’ve been using network debugging during the development for a while, and
it works like charm.

Recently, I need to trouble shoot some WHCK failure with windbg. I thought
network debugging is a good option. But there are 2 problems with this
configuration:

a) the windows kernel network adapter will replace the original adapter,
and it will use a fresh new automatic generated IP address, which is very
likely different from the original static IP address, and it couldn’t be
reached from WHCK server.

b) the original network adapter will yellow bang. and the WHCK server will
deem it as a failure during some test.

How do you connect windbg during WHCK test?
If you use network debugging, what is the trick?

Thanks.

Hi,

Try to use prints with DbgView.

On DUT run DbgView as client, and try to capture the prints on Controller.

It worked for me.

Thank you,

Have you tried debugging over firewire?

For the first problem, assign the same static address of the nw adapter to the kernel debug adapter. The OS tries to warn you that some other adapter has the same address but it is ok to proceed as both the adapter instances can’t be up and running at the same time.

Coming to the second issue, what WHCK tests are you trying to run? May be some more info will be helpful to give you suggestions.
