This is somewhat of a WAG, but have you tried connecting from OS9? 
This "MAY" be an OSX issue. I have had a similar problem (though I 
did not connect it to "powered ethernet"); every computer we hooked 
to the switch connected fine, including the computer in question when 
booted in OS9 (Win98, Win2000, OS9, OS8). But in OSX, the only way to 
get it to work was using DHCP with manual IP. At the time, I just 
attributed it to the funky way the Hughes/DirectPC kluged their 
internet stuff together.
