There is one thing you can check - does any of your friend's PCs have installed any firewall (i.e. zone alarm). I have a mix PC/Mac environment and I have zone alarm installed on multiple PCs. When they are up, my Mac can't connect to the Internet because Zone Alarm blocked it.
Here's something I would try just to make sure everything's working - plug the eMac directly into the cox cable modem. You should have gotten an IP address from the cable modem and you should be able to connect to the Internet. If you can't, there's a problem with your eMac (probably). If that works, then plug you eMac into the hub/router that's connected to the cox modem, but unplug all the other machines that are connected to the hub/router. See if you can connect to the Internet. If so, then start adding machines to the hub/router until you start having problems. That should at least give you an idea who or what is causing the problem. You don't have to turn off any of your machines to do this.
