Turns out my problem was the socket in the hub it was plugged
into.  I switched some RJ45 connectors around in the hub, and
anything that was plugged into this one socket couldn't talk to
the router but could still talk to the rest of the internal
network.  Weird.  My hub was one of those Lynksys 5-port
workgroup hubs.  I wonder if it's some competition thing between
Netgear and Lynksys???  :-)

Thanks again for the help.
