The switches clone a copy of all the traffic on that port en send it to the port to which your PC is connected. Other possibility (but this requires managed switches with this ability and access to them) is to setup the port on either A or B as a so-called span-port or mirror-port (depends on vendor how it is called). After a few hours researching it appears to be an issue with this adapter when the PC goes into sleep mode. The easiest way to properly listen in to the conversation between A and B is to put a simple hub (which transmits ALL traffic to all its ports) between either A or B and the LAN and have the monitoring PC listen in on that same hub. Turns out a recently purchased workstation with an Intel 82579LM network adapter seemed to be broadcast storming the networking ultimately bringing down the switch, server & workstations. As your own NIC isn't part of the conversation between the other 2 computers it will generally NOT receive that traffic.

Most switches these days are smart and will only send traffic to where it is needed. We offer a complete line of industry-leading single- and multiport 10 gigabit, gigabit, and fast Intel® Ethernet Controllers with integrated MAC and PHY for: High performance. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer. There are a couple of possible issues: Network connection drops when playing games.

Please note that I say (v)lan, because this is a Layer 2 thing.
Which means anything happening outside your own (v)lan is invisible anyway.
