Note. I tried to fix the subject, but it won't change from ethereal 3.0 to .9.15... I wrote down the wrong info while posting this.

I'm trying to install ethereal 0.9.15 and I can't get the ethernet adapters to show up in the interfaces lists.

Windowx XP Pro sp1 with all critical updates.
ethereal 0.9.15 winpcap_3.0

I didn't have a version of winpcap installed before.
I installed winpcap 3.0 first and the rebooted.

I tried to retrieve a list of adaptes via windump.

C:\Documents and Settings\user>windump -D
windump: PacketGetAdapterNames: The operation completed successfully.
Nothing showed up.

I have unisntalled/ installed/ reboot several times.

I installed version 2.3 of winpcap (earliest version that supports XP) and I get the same thing.

I then installed ethreal 0.9.15 and I can't get the ethernet adapters (or any adapters for that matter) to show up in interfaces.

From the FAQ I saw that to fix the problem, you must run it as administrator. I have installed it and run it as local admin on a local machine, and also as domain admin on the domiain login.

From the FAQ:

Q 5.25: Does Ethereal work on Windows XP?
Run ethereal as admin if adapters don't show up under interfaces.

Would it matter than I have the network montior capture utility installed? This was installed from the windows xp cdrom in the /support/ folder. Just to make sure, I have removed the network monitor driver, and that didn't seem to make a difference.

Just to make sure it wasn't a probem with the NIC, I just installed a second network adapter that also doesn't show up.

I can get it to work just fine at home (workgroup environment), using the same network adapter and same version of Windows XP with the same updates.

Any ideas as to why it the interfaces won't show up in the list? Or why windump can't find the interfaces either?
