Mike I'm going to draw a long bow here ...
If you previously had the cable modem setup working with one of the Macs connected to it directly, then you would have been using a cross over Ethernet cable. The machines you have done have the nifty new functionality of automatically detecting whether to be a xover or not. So, your problem may be solved if you change the cable connecting the cable modem to the hub to be a standard Ethernet cable. Or, if the cable modem has a MDI/MDIX or hub/host switch like my Cisco SOHO77 does, then flick the switch and see if that helps - same thing as changing the cable. Hope this helps.
