My bf got a new PowerMac G4 running OS X. He plugged it in where his

Did it work okay with the iMac? What else is plugged into the hub? Does 
that work?
Does the box loose it's link to the hub, or does it just not do 
anything? Check that each end negotiated the same link, otherwise you'll 
have issues.
I tried moving him to a different port, and also switching his port
from auto to 100, but it doesn't solve the problem.

I'd try the hub with another device and a different cable between it and 
the Mac. It may just be that the hub and the NIC don't like each other 
and you have to force each end to 100BaseT and half-duplex (unless it's 
really a switch, where you'd want full-duplex).
