It means that WinPcap is misbehaving.

Try un-installing whatever version of WinPcap you're using and
installing a newer one - for example, if you're currently using 3.0, try
using 3.1 beta 3.  (Note that it's a beta, so if you have problems,
report them to the WinPcap developers, so they can try to fix them
before the final 3.1 release.)
