So you're hoping to see the interface of the remote machine show up in the interface list on a machine it's connected to?
Ethereal (and underlying capture mechanisms) don't support that. You'd need to actually run instances of Ethereal on each machine independently.

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
