well from what i have seen of this message i cant tell even what you are
looking for ? except traffic..... use tcpdump it is a standard on most distro's
and really easy to use and get. try...

tcpdump -i eth0 -vv -l > logfile & tail -f /path/to/logfile

if you know the host you could:

tcpdump -i eth0 -vv host 192.168.0.35 -l > logfile & tail -f /path/to/logfile

or even the network they are on like:

tcpdump -i eth0 -vv net 192.168.1.0 -l > logfile & tail -f /path/to/logfile

see ya and good luck..
