Pardon me for jumping in, but if you're trying to keep traffic
statistics while connected to a switch port (as opposed to a hub),
how does your traffic statistic program convince the switch to
forward all of the network's packets to its port?  I am far
from expert in this area, but it seems to me that the switch
would _have_ to "think" that machines of all active IP's existed
on that leg, or it would never forward the packets to it.
Isn't that why they call it a "switch" in the first place?

This hint might shed a glimmer of light on the problem (and then
again, it probably won't).
