One source of this kind of behavior are VPN clients. They nestle themselves into the IP stack and can mess up the 
capture mechanism in unexpected ways (even when they are disabled through their configuration settings). I *never* 
install VPN clients on systems that I need to capture on for that reason :-)

Of course this may not apply to your situation...
