I found this cool little app on digg. Its a self contained program(no install) that tells you exactly what processes on your pc are connected to the net. Yeah I know there is other software that does this and most firewalls do but this is by far the clearest. Pretty cool little home written app.

Very nice, all I had was MSN (which I do not sue all the time, and a load of EZ Antivirus services connecting to the internet.

Its because the site got put on digg. Almost every site that gets posted there goes down because of bandwidth.

Tried this little application ...

When I ran it, I got an error message that came up as follows:

Run-time error '453'

Can't find DLL entry point AllocateAndGetTcpExTableFromStack in iphlpapi.dll


Anyone know what this means?

But but ....

I just downloaded it again from the website. No problem in downloading it.

However, when I run the application I get the error message I talked about earlier ...

Run-time error '453'

Can't find DLL entry point AllocateAndGetTcpExTableFromStack in iphlpapi.dll


I'm a computer newb ... what does the error message mean?

Make sure you have that file installed in: C:\WINDOWS\system32

If you don't have it you can download it from any site you wish via this Google search, reboot after installing it.

If it still doesn't work you "may" need to register the file by clicking Start->Run and type in:
regsvr32 "%windir%\system32\iphlpapi.dll"

You "may" have to reboot after registering it.
Complexity of incoherent design.

I found iphlpapi.dll in C:\WINNT\ServicePackFiles\i386 and in C:\WINNT\system32

I ran your command and got the following message:

C:\WINNT\system32\iphlpapi.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was not found.

DllRegisterServer may not be exported, or a corrupt version of C:\WINNT\system32\iphlpapi.dll may be in memory. Consider using PView to detect and remove it.


Therefore, I used your Google Search to find and download iphlpapi.dll to my Desktop, then overwrote the existing file (68.2 KB) with the downloaded file (75.5 KB).

I then rebooted, downloaded the bandwidth program again, and tried to run it. I got the same error message as follows:

Run-time error '453'

Can't find DLL entry point AllocateAndGetTcpExTableFromStack in iphlpapi.dll


Seems like my machine won't accept this application <sigh>

I don't know what to tell you.
You could contact the program author to see if there's any files or specific file version that the program needs to run.

Downloaded it but, still the same problem. I'll take your advice and try and contact the author.

Thanks for trying, Andavari !!
