Title: What else to do when "Error opening Adapter"?

hi,

I have Windows NT4 SP5 for workstation.

I just installed ethereal-0.8.11 and winpcap "WPdpack.zip" (the latest), this through Control Panel->Network....

After rebooting and opening the exe file, the gui is there for the ethereal.

The default Interface is \Device\Packet_EI90xs1 *but* when I do "Capture-->Start-->OK", it doesn's start and it gives me this message:

    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 specifie.

I tried the other interfaces but it gives me the same message(above).  The other interfaces are:  "\Device\Packet_CBENT2"   and "\Device\Packet_EI9206".

I tried both with the supervisor account and as a regular user account.

I tried to do "net config workstation" where it gave me "NetBT_NdisWan5 (some bunch of zeroes)" and entered it like these and still doesn't work:

                     "\Device\NetBT_NdisWan5"
                     "\NetBT_NdisWan5"

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

TIA,
Albert
