    I think you ask how sniff switch network cos the ARP Table stay in switch,
    then the packets will never become to your machine. or not? In hub network
    the broadcast go to all machines...
    If i undestand the problem (i think), you will need to change remote ARP
    tables on switch. So you will need the Arpoison.
    So youŽll finally can use dsniff ou ohter great sniff.
