I have an actel dsl modem, 10/100 5 port switch, boca concentrator hub 5 port? oh, the reason i am including the switch
is because for some reason the dsl modem does not like the uplink port on the hub but works great on the switch.

What i did was hook the dsl modem to the uplink port on switch.

Then plugged port one of switch into uplink port on hub.

I plugged one of my computers to the hub and tried to initiate a connection to the dsl modem and it worked! Every single port worked.

So my question stands, Since it is a hub (old one i might add) wouldn't the traffic be broadcasted to all ports? so i could sniff it with my linux box?


Thanks in advance!
