my bad, I kinda expect a verbose tcpdump...
  tcpdump -tteni eth0
-tt switches to a better time format,
-e shows ethernet mac address info
-n doesn't do name/server lookups so it's harder to hide errors.
-i eth0 : you know this

  I would like a trace of the same even from both hosts bob and nat...
since tcpdump's view of events is sometimes faked out by firewall
rules on the machine running the dump (things it sees don't really 
happen on the wire).
