There should be an interface listed in the droplist.  If you don't have
anything listed, you may not have installed WinPCap.  See the link on
http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/win32/.  Install WinPCap exactly as
stated in their instructions.

If you have installed WinPCap, can you run WinDump   This is available were
you got WinPCap from.  If this doesn't work you may have one of those
systems that WinPCap fails to install on and should contact the WinPCap
authors at mailto:winpcap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
