Can't find network adapter unless it's ran as administrator #96

Closed haggen closed 7 years ago

haggen commented 7 years ago

When I run the client I get this:

FATA[...] Error opening adapter: The system cannot find the device specified. (20)

Now if I run it as administrator it works. Tested version 0.0.8 on Windows 10.

This is bad, need to fix this asap.

@haggen can you provide the output of of the application when not run with Admin but also with --debug.

haggen commented 7 years ago

@Regner Later this evening I'll get the output (can't right now). Meanwhile I remember it saying that it couldn't listen on the device Device\{xxx-xxx...}.

Here it is:

What is the device id when you start it as admin. maybe he is looking at the wrong devices.

haggen commented 7 years ago

@Ultraporing Good point. Here it is, but please note that it's output from version 0.0.11.

We can see that the ID is actually the same, so it's probably about permission.

to me it looks strongly like a pcap problem. Pcdummy and I tried to reproduce the error with VM's and new user accounts without any privileges. But sadly we didn't get it, so this answer is kind of speculative. But all evidence points to pcap in my opinion since you are able to get the deviceID from windows[\Device\NPF_{FEF24484-FEB0-4762-9B87-789798DD5D69}] but it fails to open the adapter. And since we are using pcap to open the adapter, I can conclude by process of elimination that this should be the case. Did you check if pcap is blocked somewhere (the dll's and exe file you installed) or are set by windows as untrustworthy, maybe even a Virus scanner that gets stupid ideas?

My Windows (10 Pro x64 Version 1703 Build 15063.540) installation is pretty clean. I use very few software besides games (Steam, Discord, Battle.net, etc.). I use Linux to work so it's mainly a game station. Never installed anti-viruses, firewalls or anything of this sort. UAC (that thing that says "you need administration privilege...") is disabled.

WinPcap was installed using the installer provided here. Baseline is I followed the wizards and did nothing special.

I'll see about pcap's DLL.

haggen commented 7 years ago

I found no DLL in WinPcap's directory, only a rpcapd.exe. Perhaps it's installed somewhere else? I also found a log, don't know if it helps but here it is anyway:

mine looks the same:

The wpcap.dll should be in C:\Windows\System32 and in C:\Windows\SysWOW64

With the next update albiondata-client.exe will run with higher privileges on Logon by default (minimized to systray). So no more access issues.
