When I want to start capturing, Ethereal pops-up such message: "Can't get list of interfaces: PacketGetAdapterNames: The operation completed successfully." And the edit field in capture form is empty. I tried to enter network adapter's name manualy , but it changed nothing. 
      On Win98se everything worked fine. Now I am using WinXP.
OS: Windows XP Professional version 2002 
Network adapter: Realtek RTL8139/810X Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC
Ethereal version 0.10.1(c)
How could I solve this problem ?
Did you update to WinpCap 3.0, as previous versions of it didn't work with XP.
Have a look at the FAQ, which notes some things about this and other possible causes too.
