Yes, it is because you are using a switch. When you use a switch, only packets meant for your computer (based on your NIC mac address) are sent in your direction, while in case of a hub, you get to see all packets travelling across the hub. In case you have a managed switch, you can set a "spanning port" on the switch, which would give you a copy of all data crossing the switch.
