In the files I captured with NetProb32 demo-version and the sample "Nw_test.trc"-file that was included with the
NetProb (v1.34) and NetProb32 (v1.3) demo versions, there was no absolute time reference at all - only relative timestamps since the capturing was started ("Elapsed time").
However I don't know if maybe your capture looks different from this.

Below is a sample file I captured with NetProb32 demoversion, and my guess of what some of the data means

01 00   TRC-format (0100 = means TRC capture it seems, 
                    0400 = seems to mean PKT packet generation file - with another file format than this, 
                    0700 = CFG configuration file - with another file format than this)
05 00   Number of packets stored (I think) = 5 
       (only 5 will be visible since captured with demo version but there are really a few more packets in the file.
       The demo file that was included had value "06 00" and there was 6 packets that I could view)
