Only seeing Broadcast messages and data for the MAC/IP address of the PC running Ethertest

This is usually an indication of a switched hub. A switched hub only allows traffic intended for the destination node to be seen by that node, so other traffic never gets to the PC running Ethertest. The only fix is to replace the switched hub with a non-switched hub.  Fluke makes a hub it calls an Aggregating In Line tap.  More information about that is available at http://www.flukenetworks.com/fnet/en-us/products/Aggregating+In-line+Tap/Overview.htm.
