Single packet will not help you much in area of HTTP capturing.

I want to capture packets and identify which node in the LAN sent those or is receiving those packets.

Good wish. You wrote about HTTP, not about node identification originally.

"Search forums" will help you. Packet capturing is common "problem" for most of posters :)

This is very helpful feature at the left side of this page :)Feel free to use it to search through all topics by your keywords like "capturing". You'll (probably) find a lot of staff and discussions. Even code samples.

You realize that at phrased you are unlikely to be able to do that on a normal desktop computer right?

In a normal network configuration (these days) most packets on a network do not pass a single desktop computer.
