I managed to find a way for Winpcap to capture trafic from local ip address to local ip address.Normaly Windows routes this trafic to the loopback interface so Winpcap can't capture it.A workaround for this problem is to enter these commands from a command prompt.
   
  route add 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.1
  arp -s 192.168.0.1 AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF
   
  where 192.168.0.1 is your local ip address and AA-BB-CC-DD-EE-FF is the mac address of the local ethernet adapter bound to this ip address
   
  The link must be up.
