Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Missing Interface Name on Windows Vista forwireshark

Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2007 05:11:20 -0800 (PST)
Hi ,
I have attached the ipconfig -a output. 
Sorry its in Norwegian but the `PPP-kort Nokia 6680 GGSN PH3` is not displayed at all.

Can anyone trace on a interface that is not listed by wireshark I mean using a MAC address or something ?
Can wireshark display hidden interfaces ?

I think that those interfaces are exported as dialup connections. Under 
Vista WinPcap does *not* support dialup-like interfaces.

Can you please post the output of ipconfig -a?

Thanks
GV
