Just tried it using winpcap 3.1 beta on a windows 2003 64 bit server, it doesn’t see any network cards 

and the error message I get is this

This is probably a WinPcap problem. As per my mail, they might not support 64-bit Windows, even for 32-bit applications (WinPcap includes kernel code, as it has to include a driver to connect to NDIS to do packet capture); you could ask them on the winpcap-users mailing list:

although they've noted that it probably needs changes, and that they have no 64-bit machines on which to do development:
