(note that I know little of recent Mac hardware)
You say that you have a "Dual Speed" hub - does that mean 10/100? Is the
hub supposet to "auto-negotiate" the port speed? Are the other machines
running 100Mbps ethernet? If either of the last two are true, this may be
your problem - even though the hub is supposed to auto-negotiate the port
speed with the card, this often does not happen with hardware from
different vendors. If there is some way to force your hub into 10Mbps
mode, try it(make sure you shut down all your machines first).
