Hi,

I have a Linksys WRT54G Router with my computer and PS2 connected.
I started ethereal on my computer and I noticed I could see the PS2's
packets.
It's acting like a hub, than a switch. Why am I seeing those?

Thanks.

Your router will register all traffic, not just a PCs.

But a week ago, I couldn't see ps2 traffic and the ps2 packets should go out
to
the Internet, not to my computer on the other port, right? The traffic
should be
redirected to the port that sent/received it, not to all ports, that would
make it
a hub instead of a switch, right?
