Depends. IIRC the NIC may be in promiscuous mode and pass all packets up
the stack, but the firewall sits between it and the application. Hence
packets will be filtered. I can't test this at work to verify as we have
the firewall controlled by a group policy, but I can check when I get
home.

[Wireshark-users] Packet Capture & Personal Firewalls
I thought this did not matter as Wireshark puts the NIC card in
promiscuous mode and hence the IP address of the PC is irrelevant unless
you want to things such as pings. However, some people think otherwise.
Are there any problems doing a capture on a WinXP machine that has a
personal firewall such as ZoneAlarm running on it?
