I am using a Sprint PCS Vision phone and a laptop with windows xp to

says "The first thing you need is a cable to connect your phone to the
computer via USB.", at least for the Sanyo SCP-4900.
I have installed winpcap 3.0 (twice).
I am trying to use ETHEREAL to capture HTTP traffic into and out of my
computer, since I am trying to develop scripts that can handle cookie
and http headers.
Although ethereal sees the 1394 connection,
I assume by "Ethereal sees" you mean that something shows up in the
drop-down list of interfaces in the "Capture Options" dialog popped up
by the "Capture->Start" menu item or "Start new capture..." toolbar
button.
By "the 1394 connection" (which might really mean "the USB connection")
do you mean that something shows up in that list that identifies itself
as an IEEE 1394 (or USB) device?
no capture is ever performed.
I suspect the connection uses PPP; a Google search for
"pcs vision" ppp
finds a number of links that seem to be saying you use PPP with PCS
Vision.
If so, then:

which I suppose should add more items to the list after "my machine has
a PPP" (the bottom line is "if you're trying to sniff, with Ethereal or
any *other* application that uses WinPcap, a connection to the Internet
that runs over anything that's not a LAN link, or that runs over a LAN
link but has a PPPoE connection, you're not going to have much luck if
you're running Windows").
