> How many machines on this network, and how many hubs/switches?

10 PCs
2 Linux servers
1 Netgear Hub

It's all run fine for 2 years and for the last 4 days it has been all
over the place :-(

The wiring is old Cat 5 but replacing would be tough.
The hub is old but there is not much to go wrong.
The clients are old but how does one identify the culprit?

Well if it's been fine all this time it probably isn't the cabling.

Could it be a duplexing problem? If the hub is auotsensing the speed of the
attached cards you could try setting the card to auto.

However if nothing has changed I think the problem is with a card
somewhere. There isn't a lot to go wrong with the hub but you never
know....
