Sure.. tcpdump pukes all packets caught by the NIC. However, the traffic
it catches will be restricted to the same physically wired network, going
thru, at most, a dumb hub. Anything across a switch or router is
impossible to sniff. An yes, IPX traffic can also be sniffed. Just
tcpdump|grep <whatever> to get what you need.
