There doesn't appear to be a "Local Area Connection 2" adapter on your machine, so Hugo's answer:
Sounds like school needs to upgrade their instructions. These days Windows makes very creative mess of the interfaces. So it is anyone's guess what interface(s) your machine will come up with. Assume you must capture traffic on a second interface and document how you do it and how you found out the name.
appears to be the correct answer here.

Assuming you're on Windows, have you got npcap installed as well? Do you see any interfaces?
I do have npcap installed. The only options I have are ethernet, adapter for loopback traffic capture, local area connection 9, 8, 7, 10 and 1, wifi, ethernet 2, and Bluetooth network connection.
What is the output of
ipconfig/allon your machine?What is the output of
tshark -Don your machine? (You might have to give the full path fortshark, for example,\"Program Files"\Wireshark\tshark" -D.)Sounds like school needs to upgrade their instructions.

I agree Hugo. My teacher also just tells me to google it, so it's very frustrating.
