Do help me out to reslove this issue

Answer 1

Without knowing more about the problem (like do you get any errors, or what specifically you are trying to do), I can only guess that you are not running the application under administrator mode. In Vista, right click on the application and select "Run as administrator".

From the jcap FAQ:

Q: I cannot obtain the list of network interfaces or cannot capture any packets. Why?

On Windows Vista, even if your account is in the administrator group, you still need to use "run as administrator" option. To use the option, right-click the application icon, and choose "run as administrator". If your application is command-line based, you need to open Command Prompt by using "run as administrator" option, and run your application within that Command Prompt.
