[plug] Network Analysing

I'm just wondering, is it possible to view how many packets each machine on
a network is sending/receiving without traffic actually running through the
machine you're running the analysing software on (e.g. ethereal)?

What I mean by this for example, is - my machine is 192.168.0.4
The gateway is .0.1, the two other machines are .0.2 and .0.3.
Now, I want to see what .0.1 and .0.2 and .0.3. are sending/receiving around
the network, and total bandwidth (i.e. number of bytes/kb/mb), by running
software on .0.4. Is this achievable?

Regards,
Daniel Pearson
