When the light that is flashing more slowly flashes, it makes the light that is flashing rapidly stay on for just a wee-bit longer.  Where the network cable is attached to my hub, the light is flashing slowly like one of the lights on eth0 on the back of the server.

flashing lights are a good sign - packets are moving along those cables ...

oops - yeah you need to be root. Open a terminal (the icon with a small 
blue flat computer screen) and type 'su -'. (without the single quotes) 
Then type in the root password and you will then be logged in to that 
shell as root. Retry the commands I suggested b4.
