Set up the spanport on your switch for whatever workstation you want to
capture traffic for. Run Ethereal and do a capture (take everything -
should be that much) and do a display filter (you can just put this in the
bottom filter window):
bootp.dhcp == 1
(that is two ='s, one right after the other)
That will tell you if you have any dhcp traffic on the network or not.
