An alternative is to slap the machine you are curious about
onto a hub with your sniffing device. In fact my test machines tend to live on
hubs specifically so I can do that.

You have to configure your switch so that the port that
your monitorising box is connected to receives all the packets that
interest you. In the Alcatel switch we have this is called mirroring. You
probably will need to do this before you can start sniffing as
otherwise you will only see packets directed towards your NIC. I
believe it is no longer necessary to put your NIC in promiscous mode as Ethereal
(or others..) will do this when you set it up.
