Actually - I am running Ethereal on WinXP Pro now ...
Had to install the beta Winpcap 2.3beta, IIRC.
Thanks!

Again: "windump" runs, "ethereal" does not.
So here is the output of "windump -D" (is there a program named
"winpcap" ?)
C:\Temp\Giftschrank>windump.exe -D
1.\Device\Packet_{58634D63-6C4F-4607-AEB3-A1BBB4EA120A} (Intel
8255x-based Integrated Fast Ethernet (Microsoft's Packet Scheduler) )
2.\Device\Packet_NdisWanIp (NdisWan Adapter (Microsoft's Packet
Scheduler) )
If I insert the 1st device into the Ethereal dropdown as suggested by
Thomas,
I just get the above mentioned message.
With that finding the winpcap people already sent me to
"ethereal-users", and now I'm
getting bounced back.
Astonishing is, that windump offers two interfaces, but ethereal just
presents an empty list.
I think there must be some bug in either ethereal with using the winpcap
api or
in the winpcap lib that is successfully worked around in windump. I tend
to the 1st
problem.
Any more suggestions ?
Best regards, Jens Hektor
