Hello, sageworksinc:

  Thanks for reposting this question so I can get the money for it,
here is the full answer:
  
If you are suspicious about the existence of sniffers in your network,
you should try antisniff:

AntiSniff
http://packetstormsecurity.nl/sniffers/antisniff/

It scans your network looking for a machine is running a sniffer to
spy the information that runs across the network. It achieves that by
looking at the promiscuous status of the network adapter and by
several tests.

I hope this is what you were looking for and don't hesitate to request
for any clarification.

Regards.

cool,we just started
