Hello,

I'm not subscribed to the list, so please cc: me

Problem:
When I start ethereal (0.10.3 and 0.10.4) I cannot start a capture.

I get the following error message
"Can't get list of interfaces: PacketGetAdapterNames: The operation completed successfully."
This is a known WinPcap Bug. Try WinPcap 3.1 beta 3. Note that this a beta and you might get other problems. 



and no Adapters are listed.

I did start ethereal as user Administrator as well (using "run as" feature)

System:
- Windows XP with SP2 Release Candidate 1
- WinPCAP 3.0 (I uninstalled and reinstalled after install of WinXP SP2)
  (is running after msinfo32)



There might be problems with XP's SP2 RC1 as well.

Regards,

Lars
