If/when you find the hub that will help in diagnosing the problem as
well. If you run a Macintosh you can get a demo copy of Neon's
CyberGauge, which is essentially a sniffer. It will show you what
signal(s) the Newton is sending to the router, and whether the dhcp
request is actually going out and what is coming back.

Also, even many inexpensive routers these days have activity logs.
Can you check the logs on your router? (Note that the hub will
probably not have an activity log.)
