     With 10baseT/UTP / 100baseTX, two pairs are used in the cable,
one for transmit, and one for receive.  It is possible that only one
of the pairs in the cable is bad.  Quite often, this can be due to a
bad crimp.  If you have a good crimper, or know somebody that does,
you might want to try recrimping all the connectors.  Another possible
problem is that your hub has a bad transmitter or a bad receiver on
just one port.  Try moving the connectors to different ports.
