Note, though, that if the USB cable modem is acting as a PPP device, you
probably won't be able to capture on it; "Windows XP" is really Windows
NT 5.1, and WinPcap probably has the same problems capturing on PPP
devices in NT 5.1 that it has in NT 5.0 ("Windows 2000") or NT 4.0.

(No, I don't know how to determine if it's acting as a PPP device or not.)

If it's not acting as a PPP device, try it with WinDump; if it can't
capture the traffic, either, report this to the WinPcap developers by
sending mail to
