Using IPHLPAPI dll from the kernel

NTDEV
1

Hi,

I have tried to use the API from a kernel driver. I have managed to compile and link but the driver has failed to initialize (yellow bang after enable).
The DLL exists in the windows\system32 directory.
Any suggesstions?

Thanks,
Shai

You can’t; it’s a use mode dll, and the loader will bail when it sees that.

What are you trying to do?

Impossible, forget this idea.

Use the new Vista’s kernel-mode IP helper APIs instead.

I tried to use GetIfTable2. Which alternative API I can use in Vista/Win7. I
would like to get a list of all interfaces and their status (link up, etc’)
Thanks,
Shai

According to the WIN7 WDK documentation you would use the same API,
GetIfTable2.
