The dsl/hub and the switch are connected by a cable, and all the
computers on the network can communicate with each other no matter
which device they are plugged in to. The only exception is the
computer in question which will ONLY work when plugged into the hub,
and not the switch. I tried it in different ports on both devices
with the same result.
So at this point I'm inclined to believe it's either some incredibly
arcane incompatibility between the switch and the NIC, or a cable that
can't handle the higher speed connection. But I have to wait till
later to test the theory.
Gateway and stuff is all set up right... otherwise it wouldn't even
work on the hub :-)
