Because you said you did. Remember, a LINK light on the HUB
is your friend. Many NIC vendors today put LINK lights
on their cards but they can be ALWAYS on and don't always
reflect the real status of the connection.

Read the Ethernet HOWTO:
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/Ethernet-HOWTO.html
and the Net3 HOWTO:
http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/HOWTO/NET-3-HOWTO.html
Then.. I would also recommend to read the Network
