One interface is a modem and one is an ethernet, I'm assuming but I don't
think a modem adapter would come up in the listing.  A buddy of mine has the
same laptop with win2k installed on it except he has a Xircom 10/100 + 56k
modem and it's working just fine.  Only one interface shows up in the
program, not 2 like mine.

The Ethernet interface is the only one that has the pcap driver checked.

ipconfig nor ipconfig -all shows anything useful.  No interface lists..
Just this:

C:\>ipconfig -all

Maybe I should try the NT4 driver?! :)
