I think you're making this more complicated than it has to be. You just mirror a port on a switch between the two endpoints. Then the mirror port goes to your laptop.

Hi users,

I'm interesting to know how to insert my PC laptop with wireshark as a" PC sniffer" between 2 terminals to capture ftp flows between them:

terminal "A" in sub-network x.y.A.1
terminal "B" in sub-network x.y.B.1
my PC laptop "C" on sub-network x.y.A.2 or x.y.B.2

using this configuration, I do not need to install wireshark on A & B !

I suppose that on "A" terminal I need to create a route from A.1 to B.1 passing thru "C", the same relatively to "B", then I will need also to declare on my laptop "C" a kind of "gateway" function to re-route the ftp flow, after capture, to its original destination
  Is it what we call the NAT function on "C": and how to do it on the "C" laptop windows xp sp3 ?

Thanks for your help.

Alain
