Starting from v 4.1.x, WinPcap automatically starts at boot time, so you do not need \
admin privileges to capture packets.

Have a nice day

My experience has been that you need admin rights to look at raw IP traffic whether \
you use WinPCapor any other library.  In WinPCap's case I used it in a terminal \
server environment and as long as the first person requesting service had admin \
rights all subsequent requests were honored for nonadmin usewrs.

As a workaround you could have a small program run at startup from an admin account \
or install a small service program which calls WinPCap.
