I.e., those are the two interfaces it offers in the combo box?

What are the interfaces listed by the "ipconfig" command (assuming that
NT 5.0^H^H^H^H^H^HW2K still has it)?  If it lists them with sensible
names rather than the ghastly GUID spoodge you saw in the list there,
try using those names with "\Device\Packet_" prepended (e.g., the
interface on my machine at work is "E100B1", in which case the device
would be "\Device\Packet_E100B1", I think).

If that works, I guess the W2K version of the packet capture driver (you
installed the W2K version rather than the NT 4 version, right?) needs
some work to get it to supply sane names.
