But be aware that this isn't a fix for your problem, and it may cause 
other problems.

What you SHOULD be doing is one of the following :

1) Sniff packets on either the client or server

2) Use a managed switch that can mirror traffic on a port

3) Use a non-switched network segment (ie a hub, not a switch) that 
the traffic has to go through.
