Actually - I am running Ethereal on WinXP Pro now ...
Had to install the beta Winpcap 2.3beta, IIRC.


Thanks!
TJ

Again: "windump" runs, "ethereal" does not.

So here is the output of  "windump -D" (is there a program named 
"winpcap" ?)

    C:\Temp\Giftschrank>windump.exe -D
    1.\Device\Packet_{58634D63-6C4F-4607-AEB3-A1BBB4EA120A} (Intel
    8255x-based Integrated Fast Ethernet (Microsoft's Packet Scheduler) )
    2.\Device\Packet_NdisWanIp (NdisWan Adapter (Microsoft's Packet 
Scheduler) )

If I insert the 1st device into the Ethereal dropdown as suggested by 
Thomas,
I just get the above mentioned message.

With that finding the winpcap people already sent me to 
"ethereal-users", and now I'm
getting bounced back.

Astonishing is, that windump offers two interfaces, but ethereal just 
presents an empty list.
I think there must be some bug in either ethereal with using the winpcap 
api or
in the winpcap lib that is successfully worked around in windump. I tend 
to the 1st
problem.

Any more suggestions ?

Best regards, Jens Hektor
