Please log in for more thread options Instead of getting a RJ45 splitter, (which I know now won't work), are there any very simple two-ports hubs? What's the most simple hub device on the market? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Also, I'm playing around with networking here at home and I'm looking for a very simple 100 Mbps hub, with about four ports maybe. I've got switches but it's a hub I want so that I can listen to all the traffic. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I don't think the 100mbps standard has a "hub", I think they are all "switches". I ran into that same problem, with the simple 10/100 device not repeating to all ports. The larger switches have an "monitoring" port that can echo all the traffic, for these purposes. SO - look for a 5-port 10mbps hub - NOT a 10/100 hub or switch - it won't work. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
