I now plug all the cables into the Linksys hub and repeat the experiment. Nothing!
Sounds like a bad hub. Hubs are, by design, extremely stupid devices. They merely pass along whatever packets are dumped into them out to every other port. If you don't see traffic, your hub is shot.
Linksys is/was selling 5-port switches as hubs. As I understood it, he has computers connected, and they are talking to each other, but he is unable to sniff traffic. If that's the case, then he's gotten a switch. -- Mitch Thompson, San Antonio TX // WB5UZG Red Hat Certified Engineer (RHCE) http://home.satx.rr.com/mlthompson Independent Amsoil Dealer http://amsdealer.webhop.biz wget -O - http://home.satx.rr.com/mlthompson/pubkey.gpg | gpg --import -- "There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't."
