then the traffic won't pass the NIC driver and won't pass the
WinPcap capture engine.
This is a limitation of the way the Windows networking stack works.
Solaris has a similar problem; on some other UN*Xes, you can capture
that traffic, *but* you have to capture on the OS's "loopback" device
("lo" on Linux, "lo0" on *BSD, Mac OS X, and Digital/Tru64 UNIX).
