Hi I'm wondering if anyone can help me out , I have built ethereal on Cygwin for windows xp . I have installed the latest version of winpcap 3.1
 
When I try to start a capture firstly it does not return any interfaces , then when I enter an interface it returns an error :
 
The capture session could not be initiated (Error opening adapter:The system cannot find the file specified.
 
is this a bug in the winpcap package I have tried installing winpcap 2.3 but I can't manage to build it.  
 
I appreciate any response
