I see two ways to solve it:
- find a way to get some "reliable" traffic on the buildbot that the test can capture (any ideas how to achieve this?)

If WinPcap can capture on the "Microsoft Loopback Adapter" (somebody with the account "UlfLamping" said on the CaptureSetup/Loopback page in the Wireshark Wiki that it can :-)), perhaps installing that, and running some simple traffic generator sending traffic to the loopback adapter's IP address while the capture test is running, would work.
