Sounds to me like your partner has a hub that doesn't support crossover.
Most hubs have at least one port that can be set for either
straight-through or crossover -- usually by having two jacks wired to
the same port number (one straight one "Xed") or some type of toggle
switch to accomplish the same.  I have run into a few cheap ones that
required the use of a crossover cable to make the initial connection to
the hub with the remaining connections being done with straight-through
cables.  You'll have to check the hub's documentation to see how
crossover is handled.
If that doesn't solve the connection problem it's a good possibility the
hub has a problem or you got hold of a bad cable.
Good luck!
George
