Which version of Wireshark are they calling "Wireshark 2 Preview"?
Wireshark 2.0 was released in November 2015, more than 4 years ago. The preview releases, which had version numbers such as "1.99.9", came out earlier in 2015. I doubt that there's any good reason to want to use them.
There were also preview releases of Wireshark 2.2, 2.4, and 2.6, but those also came out a while ago.
The next Wireshark major release will be Wireshark 3.0; its preview releases have numbers such as 2.9.0. That preview release was announced on 2018-12-12 - but it's not supported on Windows XP.
The last version of Wireshark that we supported on Windows XP was Wireshark 1.10, released in June 2015. No 2.x version was ever supported on Windows XP, and 3.0 will not be supported on Windows XP, either.
@Guy, thank you for your kind reply. As I recall I have installed 1.12 version for win xp which came boundled with 2. Preview, I installed for tests. I was advised to go back to 1.10 version so uninstalled 1.12 and installed 1.10 Either 1.12 or 1.10 showed the same interfaces. Since I live on 3G usb dongle modem, I have installed recently USBPcap driver and was able to dump usb mouse's traffic to file and open the file in Wireshark. Since USBPcap driver run resets my usb modem I will try to select my usb modem as interface to learn more about Wireshark. In the above case USBPcap records usb traffic to a file and W. acts as a parser and GUI viewer.
