I have a Windows XP machine with EQ and I run a machine with RedHat Linux 7.2 with SEQ.

These two machines are connected to a cable modem via a Linxus 4-Port Router. I have read all of the threads concerning Switches vs Hubs so I also have a 8-Port Acer Hub.

I need help networking the Win Machine to the Linux machine to get SEQ working. This includes how to connect the hub to the router and how to set up the IP address or whatever I need to get them to network.

I tried connecting the two machines to the hub and connected that to the router. The Win machine works however the Linux machine does not work on the hub no matter how I set it up. I cannot even see the blinking network traffic light on the linux port.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
