if you place a cheap 100Mb hub in the location shown, then
you should be able to look at all traffic that is headed to the firewall
by listenning on .35

Yes there is a SWITCH there, do you mean listen to port 35?  would I do
a packet sniffer on 2.1.24.34 just port 35?

go buy a $39.99 hub at your local electronics store (make sure it is a hub)

put it  in the location shown (see changed diagramm above).

listen on 2.1.24.35 using promiscuous mode..

even better, if you have 2 ethernet ports on your PC:

        [internet]
            |
        [Firewall]
            |
  /-------[HUB]
  |         |
  |    [current switch]-------\
  |      |        |           |
  |      |        |           |
  |      |        |           |
[ 2.1.24.35]    [x.x.x.x.x]  [y.y.y.y.y]

set -arp , promisc and no address on the listenning port,
and you can listen on only traffic going to the firewall.

OR you may just make a TAP (only works for 10Mb/s and 100Mb/sec)
by following the instructions at:

http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/content/submitted/passive_ethernet_tap.html

and put it where the hub is above.

There is no DHCP, I don't think it is possablie to do this but I want to
install a bandwidth monitoring program on 2.1.24.35.  That will monitor
all traffic going through 2.1.24.34.  I installed bandwidthd but it's
only local traffic I can't get all traffic through 2.1.24.34.  I think I
need to but a middle man between NET and 2.1.24.34.  I don't have any
more ips to use. 2.1.24.34 is a firewall like netgear, linksys, etc
setup with NAT.

What I see is I need to replace the NAT with something where I have a
shell. I don't think it is possible with the current setup, but figured
I would ask. Thanks for any help.
