I have a really basic question (I think).  We have two boxes connected 
to a lan segment on a hub.  One is a Windows box running "Show Traffic", 
the other is a CentOS 5 Linux box running "ntop".  Both boxes should be 
able to sniff all of the traffic on that hub (not a switch).

The Windows box does just fine, Show Traffic is able to display traffic 
destined for other boxes on the network segment.

The linux box, OTOH, seems to only see multicast traffic and traffic 
that is destined for its interface.

...

So the question is: Is it possible that I have locked down the firewall 
settings in such a way as to block packets not destined for the interface?

(Everything else on the box works fine.  Shorewall / netfilter is doing 
its job quite well.)
