Why not use tcpdump or wireshark?

[The Cog]

tcpdump is (I think) installed by default. Much easier to understand is wireshark, which you can install with this command:
sudo aptitude install wireshark

As a general rule, you should use the repositories (System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager) as your first place to look, and use internet searches for software as your last resort.
