Mike, On Windows, the dnet library that Nmap uses for routing and raw packet operations renames the Windows network adapters from their long GUID-based names to Linux-like short names using the prefixes "eth" for ethernet-like interfaces, "lo" for loopback devices, and "ppp" for non-ethernet virtual adapters like VPNs. Note that WiFi is sufficiently ethernet-like to warrant the "eth" prefix. The message you are getting, "dnet: Failed to open device eth0," likely indicates a problem with your Npcap installation. One place I've consistently seen this is when Npcap is configured not to start at boot. If the npcap driver service is not started, Nmap will try to start it, then continue with the scan. If the driver doesn't have time to fully start before Nmap tries to use it, this error can happen. I recommend installing the latest release of Npcap and ensuring that it is started at system boot time. If this does not describe your setup, then we can try to debug your Npcap installation. First, see if the problem persists after upgrading to Npcap 0.991. Then provide us the output of the DiagReport batch script in the Npcap installation directory as described in the Npcap Guide: https://nmap.org/npcap/guide/npcap-issues.html#npcap-issues-diagreport Thanks!
