Yes, we have the U3 package, but IIRC it also (temporarily) installs 
WinPcap, so if you can't (temporarily) install WinPcap on that machine I 
guess you're out of luck here.

If you can attach own machine to the network, you can capture on that 
one. You'll only need physical access (Ethernet uplink), but you won't 
need a registered IP "normal network access" for that.

But please be careful about the various problems in capture setup (incl. 
legal issues), please read: http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup
