Well, it is not that simple.  In this case it probably is the hub.

But directly hooking the two Macs together with a crossover  cable  
and it then working does not say that the Mac does not have an issue  
in meeting the ethernet spec that just doesn't happen to get tripped  
when hooking them together (maybe they both have the same issue so  
can talk together, both wrong)
