I have used ethereal before, briefly, im not sure if it was on this machine.

The problem is that i start up ethereal and go to capture->start, but my network card isn't listed. I did install WinPcap. I looked through the documentation, they said type in the Adapter name and hope that works if not, tough luck (not in those words exactly  :-X).

Anyone else have this problem and know a possible fix or should i just give up and stick to use WPE Pro  :-\?

Are you on XP and if so did you install winpcap 2.3 or 3.0?
To lazy for slackware.

I am on XP and it is 3.0.

I think I had this problem and fixed it by installing WinPcap 3.1 beta. Give it a shot.

I had problems like that with Win2K, it couldn't find my NIC, but it's always worked fine on xp.  What kind of network card do you have?  I don't think it works on dialup, but who has dialup these days :)

This'll make an interesting test for broken AV:

cable connection; the NIC came with the mobo Asustek and yeah, you are right it doesn't detect the dial up adapater.
