Have you tried using the -from paramater? In my experience, Windows 98 is more likely to have empty interfaces sitting around. Run 'ipconfig' from a command (dos) prompt. Also, check out Alexander's ls_netdev utility to help diagnose any problems. http://www-user.tu-chemnitz.de/~goal/?jump=xfree The latter uses the same code as cygwin to detect the interfaces.
