Found the problem!!! I knew I couldn't be this stupid on how to get this thing to work.
The problem is a "bug". Maybe the lack of a feature is a better term. I have an Asus P4C800 mobo which has a built-in 1394 firewire. This firewire is another network adapter in the system. Once I finally had the bright idea to search the registry to see what device was assosicated with the code that PacketCollector was saying it was sniffing, I realized it was defaulting to my 1394 network adapter. I went into Computer Management (on WinXP) and disabled the 1394 controller and then PacketCollector worked fine because it was finding the only network adapter left on my system, the one it should have been using.
Since the Lucy itemcollector has a GUI, it prompts the user to select which adapter sniff. I had totally forgotten about his until realizing this PacketCollector was sniffing the 1394.
Another helpful piece of info I learned a month or so back, people need to make sure they are using the latest version of WinCap because the older version doesn't like either the 1394 or the gigabit controller. Not sure which or maybe it's both.
