Do I understand correctly that ethereal cannot be use on Windows XP with a
PPPoE connection to the internet or am I missing something?  I have a
machine with an Intel motherboard with onboard Intel Pro/100 network
interface connected to my DSL modem.  When I set the capture interface to
"pro/100" I get an error message that basically says ethereal doesn't
support capturing on PPP/WAN interfaces.

Is there something I can do to overcome this limitation?

Your help is greatly appreciated as I am a real novice at this stuff.

Thanks

Joe Walsh
