Try tcpdump for starters. If that doesn't do it for you, try iptraf or ksniffer.

Some little utilities like trafshow, ntop, and netwatch are nice little programs to watch basic network traffic, like if one pc is using ftp, telnet, or what port/type of traffic if going through. ntop is a really nice package because you can set it up to have a web interface and it breaks down the info into nice little pages, but it adds a few to your load average.
