[TriLUG] really slow web. help!

[Andrew C. Oliver]

Do you know if the cable router and 100mb router are both switches?  
What happens if you eliminate the hub?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_hub

"
For 10 Mbit/s networks, up to 5 segments (4 hubs) are allowed between 
any two end stations. For 100 Mbit/s networks, the limit is reduced to 3 
segments (2 hubs) between any two end stations, and even that is only 
allowed if the hubs are of the low delay variety.
"

Windows and Mac OS X are way more forgiving of this for some reason than 
Linux seems to be.  Often times many hubbed monstrosities will work but 
during traffic periods things get hit and miss.  I had OS X work on the 
same machine where Linux would not in a too-many-hub situation...
