 Question 1: Why winpcap can't detect physical adapters on my machine? 

Infomation:
1. Winpcap version: 4.0.2
2. OS: Windows Server 2003 (Enterprise Edition, Version: 5.2.3790)
3. The output of windump -D:
   1.\Device\NPF_GenericDialupAdapter (Adapter for generic dialup and VPN capture)
4. Two physical adapters on my pc:
   a. Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Desktop Adapter
   b. Intel 8255x-based PCI Ethernet Adapter (10/100)
5. Two virtual adapters (VMware) on my pc:
   a. VMware Virtual Ethernet Adapter for VMnet1
   b. VMware Virtual Ethernet Adapter for VMnet8
6. Problem description: I disabled all virtual adapters and one physical adapater (Intel 8255x-based PCI Ethernet Adapter (10/100)), then run iflist.exe (one of winpcap examples located WpdPack\Examples-pcap\iflist), but it not found any adapter but a 'DialupAdapter' (see below). I reinstalled winpcap (uninstall first) and reboot machine, but it still doesn't work properly. in addition, my account has administrator rights.
7. More infomation see accessory (that include winpcap_debug.txt, adapters.reg, npf.reg, services.reg and tcpip.reg)

The output of iflist.exe:
\Device\NPF_GenericDialupAdapter
        Description: Adapter for generic dialup and VPN capture
        Loopback: no

Question 2: Sometimes winpcap can't detect the adapater on windows xp. but when I reinstalled winpcap (uninstall first) and reboot machine, strange to say, the phenomenon disappeared. What should i do?

please reply to these questions as soon as possible, especially question 1 that is very important for me. think you very much.
