Hi,

I am using Windows XP USB_RNDIS driver to communicate with USB devices
over ethernet.
When I plug in more than one device each device shows up on its own
interface (eg. Local Area Connection 2, Local Area Connection 3). I
want to be able to communicate with all devices on one interface where
I set up a dhcp server,
is that possible? What I want to do is to bind every USB device to the
same software emulated ethernet interface on the host computer.

Thanks,
Adam

Is it possible? Probably, but it won't be easy. You'll need a root-
enumerated software NDIS driver to provide the "singleton" network
interface, and then a separate USB driver that loads for each device
instead of the RNDIS driver, and forwards all the traffic back and
forth to the singleton.

How about a MUX IM filter driver that binds at lower edge to USB devices of
specific PnP ID and presents only one miniport to the system.

The WDK "MUX" sample is a N:1 MUX that presents multiple upper-edge virtual
miniports for one physical miniport adapter instance. What you want is a 1:N
MUX, which is certainly achievable.
