Yeah, it has two ether ports and I verified the connection it had (out of the hub, into the router interface) I ran the same cable from the hub directly into my PC, changed the IP and boom, I was getting out again. I did try a shut/no shut but still no go. Here's the results of "sh int e1"
Router#sh int e1
Ethernet1 is up, line protocol is up

Thanks for taking a look at this spidey and BTW, good luck with your upcoming CCIE Lab test.
