I think you are confusing packet sniffing with socket based comms.
Socket based comms works in much the same way under windows as it
does under linux. There are some excellent VB socket libs available
too.

If you want to sniff all packets on a network, you need a packet
sniffer. These require that the network interface operate in
promiscuous mode, and do indeed require a special driver to do so.

Have a look at ethereal, or netXray if you need this functionality.
