The data is coming at a faster rate than machine A can handle. May be
increasing the memory / input buffer of 'A' could help. A hub could slow
down the data transfer rate; so yes, it could work with Hubs.
Alternatively, the switch ports could be set to use 10 Mbps only. There is
no problem in the switch as it appears.
Hope it is of some use.
