WINPCAP required to run GNS3

Hello again Eric,

It seems that you have started loving GNS3 now. Ok talking about the WinPcap in GNS3; basically WinPcap is a support for your computer that allows your computer Network Interface Card (NIC) to be operated in promiscuous mode. It is a mode that is used for monitoring the network traffic seamlessly. It is not a must have feature, you can use GNS3 without having it except for some of the features.
