[Windump] Cant sniff

[Gianluca Varenni]

Janne,

this is a limitation of WinPcap (the underlying capture engine used by 
windump): you cannot sniff the traffic from localhost to localhost. The only 
workaround at the moment is having the client and the server on two 
different machines. Virtual machines work as well.

Have a nice day
GV
