Dear Don,
If I inderstood your setup correctly, all your switch ports are used by the hubs' cascading cables. So I'm assuming that you are using the uplink port of the switch that's being left, to connect to the server. If this is corect, it may be a problem with using a straight patch cord since the uplink port is usually crossovered already inside. So you better of using crossover cord between the uplink port of the switch and the server. Also, check whether your hub understands the server's speed correctly. It may also be a problem with 10/100 Mbit/s autosensing.
Sincerely,
Dmitri Abaimov, RCDD
