APR - ARP Poison Routing - is a means of subverting the normal Layer2 to
Layer3 resolution mechanism an trick an ethernet switch into forwarding
packets to a receiving machine. The page you quote is part of the
documentation for CAIN - which is a pretty cool tool for hackers of both
the white and black-hat variety, but which should not be used on a
production network.
If you are an authorized network administrator at your site, you can
probably access the management functions of your ethernet switch to
create a "span" or "mirror" configuration. Note that some switches will
allow you to span a large number of ports to a specific monitor port, or
even a whole VLAN, but others will only allow you to monitor a single
other port at a time.
If you are NOT an authorized network administrator and you need to sniff
something to/from a computer that you can't access directly, I'd suggest
you speak with a network administrator.

I would like if the just released 0.10.9 version is aware of the APR
protocol like http://www.oxid.it/ca25um/topics/sniffer.htm in roder to
handle also networks with switches instead of hubs.
