I believe that you need administrator privilages and the Windows
packet driver (libpcap port) installed. On my IBM labtop with a 
3com PCMCIA ethernet card the Ethereal network interface defaults to
"\Device\Packet_el3c5891". You can get the _interface port by
doing a "net config workstation" or "net config server". The
"net config workstation" command on my workstation shows the
network interface name as "NetBt_el3c5891".

Windows NT 4.0 workstation with SP4
Packet Capture Driver v2.02
Ethereal 0.8.12
