Hi Ed,

perhaps this is because you need WinPCAP to run honeyd on Windows?

http://www.securityprofiling.com/honeyd/WIN32_README.txt

WinPCAP needs raw sockets to capture packets that are sent to your 
honeyd, but Microsoft has removed raw socketw with both Win XP Service 
Pack 2 and the MS05-019 critical security patch.

There's a discussion about this issue on the SANS Internet Storm Center:

If you have SP2 or MS05-019, this may be the problem.
