I'd also recommend Ethereal. You can also build a "wire replacement" sniffer with a Linux box, 2 NIC cards, and a crossover cable.
You configure the NIC cards into an ethernet bridge and use ethereal to sniff the traffic. The advantage of this "smart wire" is you don't have to reconfigure any TCP/IP settings.

I don't know much about sniffers... :( I need to monitor "everything" that's going on between my Firewall and one computer in my office (behind the firewall) I'm using wireless connection (802.11) with my laptop and the computer and firewall are on a switched network. My wireless base is also plugged on the same network as the computer and firewall. I need this 'cause we're using a "in-house" video-conferencing software and I need to check what's going on between the server and the firewall when someone from outside connect to it (the server). Problem is that the computer that I need to monitor is a Mac... Soon to be change for PC. So I can't really "connect" to it with my laptop. I just need some suggestion from you guys... :) Thank you !
