How to install the WinPkFilter Device Driver - nat32support - 07-31-2014
The WinPkFilter driver is implemented as a Network Service that can be installed either manually, as outlined here, or from within NAT32 via the driver install command. On most platforms, once the driver has been installed, simply restart NAT32 to start using it.
To update the driver, uninstall the existing driver with command: driver uninstall and then reboot Windows. Only then should you install the new driver.
The driver itself is contained in a file called ndisrd.sys and various versions of this file exist, one for each specific platform and driver technology. During installation, the installer may prompt for the location of the ndisrd.sys file. If so, consult the following directory tree for the location of the needed version:
