Subject: Includng nb30.h and linking with netapi32.lib

Message:

Hi all,
I am trying to use the Netbios(…) function from the nb30.h.
I am linking my driver with netapi32.lib and I succeed to compile and
build it.
But then my driver fails to load, i.e., it’s DriverEntry routine isn’t
called at all…
I checked: the system32\drivers directory contains netapi32.dll.
I suspect that in my case I need some .sys file and not a .dll file.

If anoyne has experience with this netapi32, please share it.
I saw an example of code here:

http://www.codeguru.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-315868.html

But it is not said there if I need any extra .sys file or anything else.

Thanks,
Alex.

You are using a user space library in a driver, it is not going to work.

NETAPI32.LIB (.DLL) is a user mode image. I believe the loader is
falling your driver because it links to images in user space. Even if
this is not it, I don’t see how calling any of these functions could
work.
