What is the packet payload? (the data?) An IP packet? Does it have a
correct checksum? What about TCP? Does it have a correct checksum? If
the payload (the data) is a TCP/IP packet then both the ip header and
the tcp header must both have a valid checksum or else the packet
will get rejected at the receiving end if receive checksum offloading
is enabled.

Check your adapter settings on the adapter you're trying to do the
capturing on. If receive checksum offloading is enabled on it, try
disabling it. Also, what is the size of the packet you're trying to
send? (including the 14 bytes (6+6+2) ethernet header overhead?)
AFAIK WinPCap will reject attempts to send packets longer than 1514
bytes, so if your TCP/IP packet (presuming that's what you're
sending) is larger than 1500 bytes then that too might explain why
you're never seeing it at the receiving end: because it's never
getting sent!

Hope that helps some.
