Hi - I don't know about your particular 10/100 hub but many dual-speed
hubs have an internal bridge that segements the 10 mbs nodes from the
100mbs nodes. That might explain why you see only the bcast / multicasts
and your laptop traffic dependent on where the "most other machines
are". - HTH, Kirk
