Linksys SLM2005 - $85 from newegg. 5port 1G managed switch.

Just thought I would share.

You can mirror a port for sniffing. Windows box would be the host. Your showeq box would be the target.

I read lots of posts about this particluar unit saying that I would need an extra NIC to get internet on the Showeq (target) because thats not supported with their mirroring. I bought one and I only have one NIC on my showeq box and I am able to mirror the port and get internet all on one NIC.

Better than my old 10M hub by far !
