I have a Sony Vaio T140P running XP. When I try to capture any traffic Ethereal is giving me the error:
Can't get list of interfaces: PacketGetAdapterNames: Element not found. 
Anyideas?


The list of interfaces is constructed by WinPcap.  Try downloading WinDump:

and, if "windump -D" doesn't show any interfaces (and perhaps gives the same error), report it to the WinPcap developers:
