i dont think that your packet sniffer can recognise your network adapter i.e. either your router, modem, hub or maybe your NIC [network interface card].

 

i'll look into the problem tomorrow, going out now!

 

try using a different packet sniffer such as:

As for the sniffer, I use Ethereal

 

Also one site I can recommend is Security Focus

just to check its not a problem with the sniffer.

"failed to enumerate network adapters", are you on a dialup connection? If so you could try installing the dialup (RAS) driver under the SETTINGS menu.
