The easiest/best thing to do is set up a network analyzer such as Ethereal or, better yet, OmniPeek with an address filter on the local host or on a secondary host that's plugged into the span/mirror port on the Ethernet switch and can see the traffic. Any traffic to or from that IP will be captured.
