Correct.

I hadn't, simply because I only had Ethereal installed on my development
PC (the laptop). But I just installed it on this computer -- my desktop
PC -- and connected to the hub, and this one can see outbound AND
inbound traffic (as I would expect).

So it definitely seems to be a problem with the laptop -- probably
something weird going on with the network card or its driver? For
reference, the laptop is a Dell Latitude D600, and the network card is a
Broadcom 570x Gigabit Integrated Controller (identified by Ethereal as
"b57w2k10 Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet Driver").

By the way, I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling Ethereal and
WinPcap, but that made no difference.

Cheers,

Simon
