Only the router can see all the traffic to and from the internet.
Or use a data tap, as I mentioned earlier. It's easy to make one from a cheap managed switch.
I remember those hub days. I used Ethereal, as Wireshark was called back then, to show my manager how I could see user IDs and passwords on the network. Encrypted passwords weren't that common back then. I also remember token ring, where every packet on the network passed through your computer!
Sure, assuming the device isn't on wifi to the router. Which at least in the case of laptops these days is often the case. -- Len Sorensen
