Last time I had to make a "fine-grained" debugging operation over my
network using wireshark I had to "restore-to-life" an old (and dusty) hub
that came with our DSL device... back in 2000 :-P
Port monitoring is something thats useful in troubleshooting network related problems on networks using switches, thought I think your switch needs to support it.
