Maybe a layer one problem?
Seems that the switch can see the hub. The hub can't see the switch. Do you
have link both ends? Have you substituted the patch cable between them?
Alternatively do you have a packet analyzer such as EtherPeek to stick in
the hub to see if it sees the pings, arp requests from the switch side?
