Why not just pick up a Cisco 2950 and use port mirroring to accomplish this goal? Seams to me that it would be a bit simpler and more stable than an ancient hub or some handmade tap device.

As Dan says - you need a true hub, which are NOT easy to find. The last one
I know worked was a Linksys, but only the one in the grey package - the
spiffy blue & black one was a switching hub.
Or, you can make a 10/100 Tap (you can make one yourself from parts
available @ Radio Shack, the hardware store et al - instructions are at
snort dot org. The trick there is that you need TWO interfaces as one port
of the tap is the tx (transmit) traffic and the other is the rx (receive).

I've seen this with modern hubs. Try using a much older model hub.

Subject: mirroring cable model traffic
Just a quick question - I've decided to run snort on all the
traffic running in and out of my house. Since my home switch
is unmanaged (I can't set up a mirror port), I've done it
ghetto style. I set up a hub in between my cable modem and
my router/switch and plugged the interface on my server that
I would like to use for sniffing into that hub. However,
when I test this rig with tcpdump (using command: sudo
tcpdump -vvv -i eth0), all I am getting is arp requests on my
ISP's network, even with internet use from my local network.
Shouldn't I also be seeing all the traffic that is
originating and terminating at my router/switch? Any help
would be great. Thanks.
