Displaying related data from another list in DispForm.aspx

I have two lists:

List1
List2

List2 has a lookup colums which points back to List1

I edit the dispform.aspx for List1 in FrontPage and insert (into new
Zone) view for List2.
I want to create Web Part Connection so List2 view displays only items
that have current list1 entry in the lookup colums.

Unfortunately when I try to create new Web Part Connection clicking on
the List1 display part i get error "The Untitled Web Part does not
support connections"

If my approach is not possible how else I can accomplish my original
goal (view related data from another list in DispForm)?

thanks!

Two simple custom lists created by web interface (in WSS)

Did some more investigation and it appears I could do that by adding
List2 data view and using Filter to only display items based on value
of current field.

So for instance if in my List1 I have a field called "Last Name", what
should I enter in the "Value" box of the "Filter Criteria" to filter
the List2 data view only based on the Last Name of the current entry in
List1 displayed in DispForm.aspx?

Hope this makes sense.
Thanks

My specific question is:

How can I filter a Data View based on value of a field from the current
item displayed in a Display Item Form, where both of them are on the
same page?
