Hello,

Please check whether NPCAP is installed at the server where the corresponding Probe is running. This engine is used by PRTG to capture the packets. If this engine is missing, the packet sniffer cannot work. You can also try reinstalling NPCAP. Afterwards, please restart the Probe and try to add the Sensor again.

Also do the NICs have both MAC and IP-Addresses set in their Windows NIC-Settings?

Kind Regards,
Timo Dambach
