[Winpcap-users] Timestamps don't match system time

This seems very strange. Can you try another packet sniffer, for example 
Ethereal, and tell us if the timestamps are ok? This will help us 
understand if the problem is in the driver or in the way windump 
converts the timestamps.
Also, which version of winpcap/windump are you using?
