Two ideas:

The ethernet interface on your external snort sensor is not in promiscuous mode;

or

your "hub" is really a switch.

I have my cable modem hooked into a Linksys 5 port hub and I also have a snort sensor configured on the hub to catch all traffic coming to my network. from the 5 port hub it connects into a Linksys router which is where my server is located. my question is why can i catch traffic on my internal snort sensor connected to the Linksys router, but all I can see are ARP requests on the external snort sensor which is connected to the hub? anyone have any ideas?
