You did not say whether the problem is software or hardware based.

When you connect the modem and the hub with either the NDC or new cable,
does the connection LED light up on the hub _and_ on the NIC? If not, you
definately have a hardware problem - wrong speed (as below) or defective hub
(since you tried with the NIC connected directly to the modem and they both
worked).
