Are you aware that in addition to the free LSP and NDIS guides here at Komodia.com, there is also a free TDI guide as well? Oh it’s true.
This is the place to go when you are searching for information on TDI modify packets and the free TDI firewall source code. Where else can you find this kind of information regarding TDI for free?
The guide is composed of 4 general areas:

Vista can be a bit of an LSP nightmare because of the potential snafu regarding the 32 bit and 64 bit versions. It is such a headache that I have officially decided to give it a title: The Vista Layered Service Provider Problem.
The catch is that some people are only installing the 32 bit DLLs and the 32 bit LSP on a 64 bit OS and then other people are only installing the 64 bit DLLs and the 64 bit LSP. The fact of the matter is that in order to run a 32 bit application n a 64 bit OS, you need the 32 bit DLLs and LSP. However, you ALSO need the 64 bit DLLs and LSP for the 64 bit applications. One important note, you must install the 32 bit versions first.
This should effectively solve a majority of the problems and fix LSP issues for Vista. However, if you are having other problems like Vista LSP can’t connect to Internet or communication problems, then you may need more detailed help. I would definitely check out the free LSP guide and resource page here at Komodia.com before going any further.

Are you looking for the firewall source code in Vista? What if I told you that you could have a LSP enabled firewall without writing any code? Komodia’s Redirector is your true firewall source for Vista because the work is already accomplished for you. Why spend so many hours on a firewall when it has already been done by Komodia? Would not your time be better spent on other areas? I believe so. I think that you would appreciate the power and time-saving ease of Komodia’s Redirector – and it cannot hurt to check it out!

It is just amazing to me how popular 64 bit operating systems have become lately. It can cause LSP problems with Vista and 64 bit Windows Socket APIs. Obviously, when you want to install LSP on a 64 bit operating system, you will need to install a 64 bit LSP. Even when running on a 64 bit operating system, any 32 bit application will load both the DLLs and LSP in 32 bit. Therefore, you must first install the 32 bit LSP.
When you are running a 64 bit application, it will load the DLLs and LSP in 64 bit. Both (32 & 64) LSP stacks are kept and used by the 64 bit operating system – so you are going to need both 32 & 64 installers. Remember to always install the 32 bit LSP first before the 64 bit LSP.
Hopefully, this will help you to fix LSP issues for Vista.

Friends, let’s be honest, there is NO easy way to write an LSP application on your own. An accurate figure that I have seen recently is 3 months; it takes 3 months to write an LSP application on your own.
Now, I am not saying that this is impossible or even that you should not do it. I am just saying that layer service provider development is difficult and not to be taken lightly.
Fortunately for you and me, when we want to learn how to write LSP, there is a resource like Komodia available.

Do you think that there is no way that you can write a based firewall for Vista? Well, my friends, this may just be a lot easier than you think. Get Komodia’s free LSP guide and view the resource page for all the information about the firewall source code in Vista and how you can use that for your own purposes.

Code hooking is a very good tool for the programmer – specifically when chasing down bugs. When building your NDIS hooking source code, be sure to visit Komodia’s free NDIS guide and resource page. There is a lot of free – yet extremely valuable – information about all things NDIS. This includes, but is not limited to, NDIS passthru information, intermediate drivers, and protocol drivers.
Chris
When your goal is to modify NDIS passthru, then you definitely want to visit Komodia’s free NDIS guide. It is a free resource full of NDIS passthru information. It includes both NDIS 32 bit and NDIS 64 bit passthru information.
So, please view the free NDIS guide here.

If you want to have the layered service provider redirect to a HTML page, it can be done. Winsock LSP enabled devices can do so many things for you, but often times you spend a great deal of time writing code for the smaller details. That is where Komodia’s products come into play. The Redirector can provide you with a multitude of functions without you ever having to write a single line of code. How great is that? Using a Winsock modify html request is not so much difficult as it is tedious and time consuming. Wouldn’t you really rather spend your time writing the more important code?
