According to this paper http://luca.ntop.org/Ring.pdf, you may be the lucky one, instead of unfortunate users of out-of-the-box *nix libpcap implementations. The good thing with open-source is the room to improve, as the solution presented on the paper shows.

I'm amazed no one mentioned Etheral works just fine under Windows (well, at least it runs as well as any OTHER Windows software seems to, let's put it like that). I guess those of use lucky enough to use Linux/Unix/*BSD etc forget there are other, less fortunates out there :)
You can install PCAP for Win32, as well as Ethereal for Win32. Try http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/win32/
