Ah, I think I've got it! Promiscuous Mode set to Reject would be the configuration setting that prevents a packet sniffing program from analyzing the network packets. That makes sense to me.

I'm a bit confused on the difference between Promiscuous Mode and Forged Transmits. I'll need to review those concepts before I can confidently answer this question.

Okay, let's see. I know that Promiscuous Mode has something to do with the network interface's ability to capture all traffic, not just the traffic intended for it. I'm guessing that setting it to Reject might be the way to go.
