Im still fairly new to networking, but all of the sniffers that I have tried
show data flow for my laptop and desktop but not my xbox

Is the XBox plugged into a hub or a switch?

hi :-)

I have cabe internet that goes from the cable modem into a Linksys 4 port
router. My xbox and desktop then connect via cat5 and a wireless access
point comes of the router to give access to my laptop.

I guess the router ports are switched, in which case you won't be able to
sniff packets from the XBox unless it's talking to one of your machines.
You could either fit another NIC to the desktop and use it as a
software router for the XBox (with a crossover cable), or plug them both
into a non-switched hub (and the hub into the router).

Get cain from www.oxid.it and get it doing ARP poisoning between the
IP of the Xbox and the IP of the router. All packets should then flow
through your PC for inspection.
