There is definitely something wrong with your network. You should never,
ever see a loopback address on an actual wire.

You are capturing on the right interface I take it?

I would probably uninstall both WinPcap and Wireshark and re-install.

The other time I had a problem with this type of thing I downloaded the
backtrack Linux iso (live cd) and ran Wireshark from that (to eliminate
Windows XP from the problem).
