# Selecting the Network Interface

UNIX

On UNIX platforms with more than one network interface, use `iniftst` to determine the correct interface name.

Windows

On Windows platforms with more than one network interface, it is sometimes difficult to determine the correct interface name. The remainder of this section presents a method to determine it:

Procedure

| 1. | If data capture appears correct, then the remaining steps are not needed. However, if the captured data is all zeroes, then specify a different network interface (using `rvtrace -i`). Only one of the interfaces carries the data that `rvtrace` requires.

| 2. | Install the `WinDump` utility from this URL:

http://www.winpcap.org/windump/install/default.htm

| 3. | Use this command to obtain a list of interface names:

`windump -D`

| 4. | Try each interface until the data appears reasonable.

Consider this example:

    C:\>windump -D
    1.\Device\Packet_{D7308399-80B2-4CA1-A9E6-C90DD74511A8} (EL574ND4 Ethernet Adapter)
    2.\Device\Packet_NdisWanIp (NdisWan Adapter)
    C:\>rvtrace -i \Device\Packet_{D7308399-80B2-4CA1-A9E6-C90DD74511A8}
