I run Ethereal on my Win NT 4.0 Service Pack 4. I have Admin rights and yet
I get the following error message when trying to capture packets with
Ethereal. What am I missing??

"The capture session could not be initiated (Error opening adapter). Please
check to make sure you have sufficient permissions, and that you have the
proper interface specified."

Thanks a lot in advance!
