The .NET Framework doesn't have any classes that will allow you to do this natively. You'll need a device driver that will do the "dirty" work for you and it must expose an API that you can P/Invoke using VB.NET to get the information you need. You can pick up the book "Network Programming in .NET" for a complete discussion and examples. Or you can search the web for "Packet sniffing .NET" and piece the information together yourself.
