I am trying to do something on windows, under cygwin
prompt that I do under unix.
ssh root@remotehost 'tcpdump -s 1500 -w -' |ethereal
-k -i -

This works for viewing a remote capture on unix.
On windows however it complains with 
"This capture session could not be initiated (error
opening adapter. The system cannot find the file
specified).
Please check that you have the proper interface
specified.
Note that the driver Ethereal uses for packet capture
on Windows doesn't support capture on PPP/WAN
interfaces in windows NT/2000/XP/.NET Server"

Would this fall under Wan? :D
Or better yet, is this a question better aimed at the
Winpcap folks?
