Convert a VMware net from a "Switch" to a "Hub"

I have three machines:

A

B

and

C

all Windows guests.

I need to run network monitor software between A and B,

while C does something.

Right now, I'm not seeing the traffic in the packet capture of the "involved" machine -- even though I'm running the capture software on A and B.

The suggestion was to make VMware think I'm on a HUB and not a SWITCH.

FYI.. I'm currently using VMnet 3 for all three guests..

Any thoughts on how to make it a HUB and not a SWITCH ?

Thanks in advance.

Actually, as far as I understand, they are hubs, not switches.
