Have you tried a different port on the hub? Tried a different imac using the same ethernet cable and hub port (basically swapping out the existing bad imac)? Can you ping the router's IP, your IP, and loopback?
Next options would be to try a USB -> Ethernet adapter (Belkin, 3Com, and Linksys have one - they normally run $35-50). If you can use one of these fine, then something is possibly wrong with the built in NIC. If this fails as well, then Open Transport or TCP/IP may be hosed up pretty bad. You may be able to use this site for some assistance with reinstalling open transport - but be advised.....this walk through was for OS 8.6. And I don't advise doing this unless you are VERY secure with your knowledge of Macs and your OS.

Mac-only network. Mac OS 9.0.4. Static IP. Tried various network cables that
work fine on other iMacs. No problems with others on the network when this
iMac is down. Connected to a hub, with cabling from that going to a router.
Thanks.

What OS? Is it a MAC only network? or PC mix? DHCP? Connected to a router/switch/hub? Directly connected to that device or going between a patch panel? When it is on the network, is everything working - internet? network shares? More info is needed to supply a more positive answer.
Otherwise, I will throw this in the fire - maybe it will help.
If you have another PC/MAC, connect it in your iMac's place and see if
it has the same problem.
Also, try a different port on your router/switch/hub. Try a different
router/switch/hub. Directly connect your iMac to the router, or DHCP
server.
Try hardcoding an IP into TCP/IP - then try pinging out. First loopback
(127.0.0.1) then the IP of the NIC, then the DHCP server/router. See if
that can get out.
If you can ping the router/DHCP server, then there may be an issue with
throughput not connectivity.

I have a slot-loading CD iMac (new in June 2000) that has on-again and
off-again problem connecting to an office 10/100 network. I've ruled
out
cabling as the problem, and I don't think the integrated network port
is
bad, either. When I do get the iMac to see the network (servers and
printers), some sort of glitch later with knock it off the network.
Several
restarts later, the iMac might see the network; sometimes it won't.
After
reinstalling the System Folder once, the iMac saw the network, only to
be
kicked off later following a system lock-up. I've also thrown away
network-related preferences, thinking a file might have become
corrupted.
Has anyone else had this problem and come up with a solution?
