I've tried winpcap v2.3 and v3 but still get this message.

I've diabled my firewall software as well.

It does say that the tunnel is enabled though????

Any help would be appreciated.

Possible options are:
1) You selected a non-ethernet device in the advanced options. Under most OS's modems are not even supported by Winpcap.
2) Winpcap is not instaleld properly, install the latest version.
3) Winpcap is too old for some combination of new hardware you have, install the latest version.

Or maybe this is the standard WinPcap install problem. To fix: uninstall, reboot, install, reboot, then it should work. If you missed a rebootwhen first installing, WinPcap gets confused.
