When running this component on windows, `eth0` is not valid a valid network name. Typically, the default interface would be called `Local Area Connection`, so your config might look like
65+
66+
```
67+
sensor:
68+
- platform: systemmonitor
69+
resources:
70+
- type: network_in
71+
arg: 'Local Area Connection'
72+
```
73+
74+
If you need to use some other interface, open a command prompt and type `ipconfig` to list all interface names. For example a wireless connection output from `ip_config` might look like
75+
76+
```
77+
Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection:
