I can not add an interface by IP address.

  • what does that mean?
  • what did you do to "add an interface"?
  • what is your OS version
  • what is your Wireshark version?

Can't get list of interfaces: Is the server properly installed on 192.168.100.224? connect() failed: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. (code 10061)

This is what I get when I attempt to add a server or other device to capture packets.

Ah, you are talking about a remote capture setup. Did you start rpcapd on the remote machine?
