Maybe your "Hub" is not a Hub but a switch. Do you read something like "switching Hub" on that device?

Did you check these:

http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/Ethernet
http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/InterferingSoftware

Just to eliminate problems with Wireshark itself: Do you see any FTP traffic, if you download something from the Wireshark PC itself?
