Problem: Can't find the correct "-i" interface option to run tethereal.

Details:
  W2K ver 5.0 bld 2195
  tethereal 0.9.4 with GLib 1.3.2 with libpcap without libz without UCB SNMP

Ethereal GUI capture options displays two interfaces:
  NdisWan Adapter: \Device\Packet_NdisWanlp
  Fast Ethernet PC Card: \Device\Packet_{BD11F961-9620-4761-8EF6-6E1F1821D2CD}

Can anybody supply the correct tethereal command line in W2K that would
allow capture on the fast ethernet interface?  I've tried different options
using the ID within the {} but haven't been able to get it to work.

The error I get from tethereal:

tethereal: The capture session could not be initiated (Error opening
adapter: The system cannot find the file specified.).
Please check that you have the proper interface specified.

TIA.
