Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
For those with problems in Win 8 I have currently working Instacheck on it, I installed Wincap and I run Instacheck. In Shared Connection I have selected Ethernet and then before I start checking I select my ethernet wifi card that is name something like Atheros Ethernet Controller.
Hope it helps!
