Are you using WinPcap 4.0 as well? What's returned by "windump -V" (capital 
V)? Have you run windump or nmap from an elevated prompt (i.e. opening it 
with "run as administrator")? Being an administrator is definitely not 
enough if UAC is enabled (and I think it is enabled by default on all the 
vista flavors).

Have a nice day
