Your first two statements seem to conflict... the first says that when A
pings B or C, there's a delay, but the second says there's no delay.

Anyways, it sounds a lot like A can't reach a nameserver, and it's
timing out trying to map the IP address back into a name. On machine A,
try doing a "ping -n machineB" (either by name or by IP).

Don't know about that... it sounds right to me. But if your hub can do
both 10 and 100, why set it to 10? :)
