Hi,
You might be able to monitor the traffic of machine B if you monitor in promiscuos mode and machine A is in same network so that B's traffic can be seen by A. I.e. there is no switch etc. to 'block'.
See: http://www.ethereal.com/faq.html#q5.1
http://www.ethereal.com/faq.html#q5.2
to get the picture.
