This suggests the laptop is called "ubuntu" but it is running Lenny no?
Curious naming convention.
eth0 has an IP address consistent with default on Home Hub - does this
mean it is/was plugged into the network with a cable?

This looked right except it is "eth0" the wired not the wireless that is
connected to the Home hub.
Are you connecting wirelessly, and with a wire at the same time, as that
will confuse the logic of networking....
