hmm, 10 meg hub.. 10 Meg shared by everyone because its a hub and not a switch.
Just a thought, but can you do a sniffer trace on your lan and see if theres a lot of noise on your hub?
I thought I saw someone else suggest plugging your pc directly into your cable modem and see if that makes a 
difference.. You might have a bad port on your hub or something, try another port. Or I HAVE seen (only twice 
though) that a bad ethernet cable will cause bad performance and/or VERY funky things.
