In general, there are no hubs anymore. Hubs were standard in the 10BaseT days, rare in the 100BaseT days and these days are completely incompatible with the GigE spec.<div><br></div><div>Your best bet is to set up a Linux machine with 2 NICs and bridge them, then use wireshark on the bridge interface.
