Many thanks; that solved the problem.

You're probably plugged into a switch ("learning bridge"). Switches
partition your collision domain -- they learn which MAC is available on
which port and only send on that port.
You either need a hub or a really expensive switch (the kind that you
log in to and set up port mirrors).
..
What is your LAN? My guess is that its a router or a switch. In either
case, the router/switch is not forwarding the packets to all the ports.
It retains a table of MAC addresses and the ports they are on. It only
forwards packets to the desired port. A computer on a different port
will not see any of those packets. You have to use a hub or just a
non-learning bridge to get the packets forwarded to all ports. Those
are really hard to find anymore.
