- PacketSetReadTimeout: instead of calling with a very short timeout,
now we call it with -1 which means no timeout.
- Psyon found that Peter Tattam's changes, while necessary for win95, broke
WinNT/2000. So now on Windows NT/2000, we still call
WaitForSingleObject(lpAdapter->ReadEvent,0) but we ignore the return value.

- receive timer set to 10000 instructions instead of 1000000.
- placed if (WaitForSingleObject(lpAdapter->ReadEvent,0) == WAIT_OBJECT_0) {}
around the read code.
There is a problem with the existing function rx_timer_handler. It can
retrieve multiple packets from winpcap but returns when it finds one with
the source mac address address instead of ignoring it and processing any
remaining packets.
Replacing the function with the one in the attached file rectifies this.
With this I can browse the network fairly well from the guest NT4 and indeed
see the guest NT4 from other machines on the network.

- at the moment we only use hFile so the other pieces of the ADAPTER struct
don't affect how this code turns out. However, it would be safer to include
the winpcap header file instead of hardcoding the structures, which are bound
to change over time.
