Note that the first two programs depend on promiscuous mode beign able to pick up all of the network traffic, so you probably want to be running on a hub that's near to the router. Switched networks can still be sniffed, but it's a bigger pain.
I have an old 10 Mb hub, between my firewall and cable modem, just for that purpose. You can also buy devices (I forget what they're called) just for that purpose, that can be plugged between a switch and other device, without forcing the connection to half duplex, the way a hub would.
