<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=113555513-15052009>I have been trying
to tap into an Ethernet connection between two pieces of equipment that we have
designed. I have found a cheap hub at only one Best Buy that
allows me to use WireShark to view the messages. However they are
only 10Meg Hubs and eventually I am going to need to run at
100Meg.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=113555513-15052009>I have two other
Linksys hubs (NH1005 and EFAH08W) that are listed as "Network Hub" and
"Workgroup Hub". Both of these older (5 yr?) devices seem to be switches
and not hubs. I looked on line and can only find used 4 port hubs, but I
am concerned that they are also just switches. Is there any way to know if
a hub is a hub and not a switch? Or, is there another way to use WireShark
to view traffic?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
