Your router and hub should both have LEDs that light up when ports are connected correctly.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oh, the router definitely works--I'm on buffistas through the wireless, and the TiVo is hooked up through one of the other wired ports. Voila! Will try the other suggestions...

Yeah, bring the hub down and hook it up straight to the router, and see what that does. What you describe in general sounds like it should work. The only thing I`m unclear on is what you mean by the main thingie (jack?) on the hub. Do you mean something labeled as internet input to the hub? Because you probably don`t need to do that, your router is handling the internet distribution. It might just need to go to a regular thingie on the hub (from the marked living room). Pics might be helpful at this point. And yes, do look at the blinky lights and see what they tell you. Hee.

Ah, turns out I had plugged from the router into the ONE jack that is apparently broken. Useless! Of *course* the jack that is right where everything I want to be there is the somehow messed up jack. Sigh. Have an unsightly wire trailing across the room, in the meantime.
Next project, remembering what my TiVo Seaon Passes are, so I can program them into my new TiVo. I ...think I know what I watch? Mostly? Ooh, no wait, I just remembered another one.
Upcoming project: I want to make my printer wireless, since it's allll the way up in my office, two stories above my living room. PITA. (Of course, then anything I print would be up there, too, but...still)

It should be possible, maybe pretty easily, to repair the jack, but it should be done by a competent tech or electrician. Glad the rest is working, though. The making the printer wireless should be fairly simple.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I seem to recall that one of my OS X iterations had an iCal subscription for current movie releases. I can't find a decent one anymore. Anyone have a recomendation?

That one doesn't seem to have been updated recently. Or there are no new movies coming out in the next few weeks.

You didn't hear? Hollywood decided that it needed to take a break, and decided it needed to concentrate on making fewer, better movies instead of lots of movies that suck.

Don't be a tease. Not this soon before the Iron Man 2 release date. It's not gentlemanly.
