Dummynet installation error: my_socket 2 failed, I can not talk to the kernel module (Windows 7 X64)

I am trying to install IPFW on a 64-bit version of Windows 7 using the package here

I can successfully add the ipfw+dummynet to my network adapter using the instructions provided in this answer

However, when running ipfw.exe , presented in the package, I encounter the following error:

my_socket failed 2, cannot talk to kernel module

Help is needed to overcome this error so that ipfw can successfully start from the command line.

The first method explained here worked for me.

I also managed to install the driver with the second method, but first I had to sign the driver, as explained here . To work around the error associated with the catalog file, add the following line after the version tag in the INF file:

 CatalogFile.NTAMD64 = wipfwamd64.cat

Hope this helps.

I get the same message error as you, with my Windows 2012 server based on 64-bit architecture.

I checked the code, the error value is returned from the windows function GetLastError :

 2 (0x2) : ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND

This error occurs when the windows CreateFile function is called on the Ipfw I / O device.

 If the specified file or device does not exist, the function fails and the last-error code is set to ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (2).

To do this quickly, I think that the “Ipfw” service is missing, it displays as correctly installed, but it is not.
