I am trying to run  ethereal  on a  AIX 4.3.3   machine.    I have  tcpdump
working on the AIX 4.3.3 machine.
But I still do not get a Interface list.   I can not   Capture->Start

** I copied this  from your web site cause it is identical  to my problem
******************

Q 4.12: I have an XXX network card on my machine; it doesn't show up in the
list of interfaces in the "Interface:"
    field in the dialog box popped up by "Capture->Start", and/or Ethereal
gives me an error if I try to capture on that
    interface.
****************************************************************************************************
(  I am running as   root  userid  )

This is the error message I get.

The capture session could not be initiated ( recv_ack: bind error 0x1)
Please check to make sure you have sufficent permissions, and that you have
the proper interface or pipe specified.

****************************************************************************************************

If I run ethereal  in office on my aix work station it works ok.  But if I
try to run it down
in my lab  on a   NAT'd  network  it  does not work.   No matter how many
aix servers
I install ethereal  on in my lab it does not work.   They can all ping each
other no
problem.   And I can run tcpdump  on all these  aix test servers also.

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks Vicki
