Title: can't get ethereal to see another nic in capture drop down list

Hi, I'm testing out Ethereal on Windows XP by connecting 2 machines with a crossover cable.  I have installed Ethereal on both machines.   When I look at the list of interfaces in the "Interface:" field in the dialog box popped up by "Capture->Start", all I can see is the local interface.  When I try to capture the other interface by entering the IP or the MAC address, Ethereal gives me an error.  This happens no matter which machine I do this from.  What do I need to do to get both interfaces to appear in the dialog box?

Thanks,
Jeff
