Snort http://snort.sf.net/
Ethereal http://www.ethereal.com/

If you have managed switches you could segment the network into vlans this
would help isolate the problem areas.

You could even go so far as to get some cheap PCs and make stackless packet
scrubbers using hogwash http://hogwash.sf.net/ and stick them in strategic
locations (they're essentially really smart bridges that "scrub" packets)
on your network. 

Happy hacking.
