Is there any way to run Ethereal by pointing it to a remote Win machine,
running rpcapd?

That's WinPcap's remote capture daemon?

The only way to have Ethereal capture from that device is to run Ethereal with a version of libpcap or WinPcap that supports the rpcapd protocol. Right now, you'd have to use WinPcap 3.0 or later.
