Hi,
 
I am trying to get Ethereal 0.8.18  working on dell laptop running Windows 2000.
 
I did not have any winpcap installed on my machine.
 
I have instatlled the "WinPcap 2.1 packet capture driver" and then installed "ethereal-setup-0.8.18.exe". I had no problem in installing either one of them.
 
When I run ethereal, and select Capture --> Start:
 
1] In the "Ethereal: Capture Preferences" dialog box, for Interface option, I am seeing four interface entries.
 
2] If I select any of the first theree interfaces, and whatever options I select I am only getting a dialog with an exclamation mark and the packet capturing never starts.
 
3] If I select the fourth interface, I get the "Ethereal: Capture" dialog, and it appears that capture process started but I do not see any packets of any protocal coming in it. I see all 0's for all protocols.
 
Can someone please help me in figuring out went wrong, and how I can get Ethereal to work.
 
Thanks.
