I have a 10/100bt network I'm using a 3com Linkbuilder FMS II hub.  When I connect the hub to a live wall outlet that I am able to get on the network with no problem w/o a hub the cat 5 cable going to the wall into plug one on the hub gets no link light any other compters that I plug into the hub get link lights but no network connectivity.  I pretty certain it is not a hub issue but don't know why I can't get a network link through a hub.
 
It depends what's on the other side of that live wall outlet you refer to.  I'm assuming it's going to either a switch or possibly another hub.  Have you tried using a cross-over cable between your hub and the wall outlet?   This should correct the problem you are having.
 
I am quite sure I know EXACTLY whut yer problem iz...however please proof-read your question and resubmit so i KNOW exactly whut your question is.
 
I'd agree with miker. Sounds like you need a crossover cable between the hub and the wall. [sig]<p> Jeff<br><a href=mailto: masterracker@hotmail.com> masterracker@hotmail.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>If everything seems to be going well: you don't have enough information.......[/sig]
