Troubles With Multiple Sensors

[Tim Rohrer <snort () metbymail com>]

All,

I am looking for more help as I continue to learn this thing : )

I have added a second NIC to the computer I am using for snort and 
have connected it to the shared uplink port on my switch (I am trying 
to confirm with the manufacturer that this port gets broadcasted 
traffic).  I gave the NIC an IP address not on my home network.  To 
test, I issued the command:

snort -v -i eth1 but I am not getting anything at all.

Do I need to be doing something different to test a second sensor? 
Is the fact that I am not detecting any traffic a good sign that the 
uplink port IS NOT doing what I hoped?

I had tried placing an inexpensive 10M hub between my cable modem and 
the router but the cable modem would not pass any traffic to the hub. 
: (

Thanks in advance for any help.

Tim
