I think that's a hub with switch capabilities.

Port mirroring only applies to a switch. And not all switches (especially the cheaper, unmanaged ones) can handle port 
mirroring.  All traffic in a hub is available to all ports.  You've got to figure out what you've got.  And that link 
is in Brazilian Portuguese only--maybe a fellow Brazilian or Portuguese-speaking subscriber to this list might be able 
to tell us what it says.

Again, thanks!

   Hi Darkk, 
 
 You need to enable port mirroring to be able to see all the traffic. By default a switch will only send out 
unicast/multicast traffic that is appropriate to that specific port you are plugged into.

 I have 8 computers on a local network, all linked to a Braview HUBSW 16NTX switch, and this switch is linked to a 
Siemens 4200 modem/router, and this to the ADSL line.
        
 I've been trying to monitor what's happening on the network but I only get results to my own computer, and I needed to 
monitor the whole network using WireShark.
        
 So, what should I do?
 Thanks!
