The router is providing NAT/DHCP services I assume. This is similar to my setup (well add in a wireless access point, and that 10M Phonenet stuff, and a bridge and another hub... then it's just like that :rolleyes: ).
EDIT: When you get a hub make sure it's a true hub (best bet would be one that only does 10M or only does 100M connections) a lot of new hubs are actually switches no matter what they say. I use a 4 year old netgear model as the new linksys one i bought turned out to be a switch. Anyone have recommendation for currently sold hubs that work?
Yep then thats the problem then. I have a extra hub handy ill just place it after the router and see if that fix's the problem.
