Microsoft® Windows® XP and Windows Server® 2003 include built-in network
capture tools such as Netcap and Rasdiag that can capture local network
traffic without having to install products such as Netmon or Ethereal. Use
tools such as Windows Network Monitor (NetMon) and Windows Sysinternals
TDIMon for network data analysis. Windows Sysinternals tools can be
downloaded from the Windows Sysinternals page on Microsoft TechNet.

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.
