[Simh] Network interfaces under Windows

I believe you need to re-install WinPcap to get it to see the new interface.

I decided I wanted to add a second network card so that I could telnet in from the same computer to the OpenVMS system.  I had a Dynex DX-E102 available, so I stuck it in the computer, but I don't see it as an available network interface under SimH.  The primary network interface is an integrated NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000.  To complicate matters, I have old VMware Player software installed (version 1.0.2.xxxx) that allows me to run some necessary software for a client.  The host computer is running Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.  Under SimH:
