There is a tool called netcap.exe on the Windows XP CD (even for Home
Edition) that can be used to make captures that you can read into Ethereal.

You install netcap.exe by running setup.exe in the Support/Tools directory
on the CD. The NetworkMonitor driver will
be installed when you run netcap.exe.
