No interface - Windows XP Service Pack 3

0

I installed WireShark 3.10.3, which has WinPcap 4.1.3 installed. The only interface displayed is "\Device\NPF_GenericDialupAdapter". I a NIC card using the "Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC". The driver is located in "C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\Rtenicxp.sys". And the file version is 5.690.0307.2008 built by: WinDDk. How do I get my NIC interface listed, so that I can capture packets?

Try to restart the WinPcap service as Administrator.

From an elevated DOS box

sc stop npf
sc start npf

Then restart Wireshark as regular user.
