I have 2 computers, connected with a hub for data and internet sharing. The host computer is getting 100 kbps of internet speed, but the other computer is getting only 10kbps. Can anyone let me know how to get similar speed to both computers?

The clue here is you are using a hub, what you need is a switch.

How are you coming to the conclusion that one machine is getting 100 kbps and the other is getting only 10 kbps? 100 kbps is nothing for internet speed - barely twice the speed of a good dial-up connection.

Only thing that comes to mind right off the top of my head based on the info you stated is that maybe the NIC cards are different in both computers...
Check it out. You might be able to change the settings in the hardware.
Right Click My Computer and Go to Properties.
Then go to Hardware > Device Manager. In there under Network Adapters are the NIC's connected to that specific computer.
Good Luck...

You have different NICs. The 10 is the older one.
But that is still probably faster than your internet connection. You may not see any real speed increase to get a new card. You will see an increase computer to computer.

if your isp is providing you with an access of 100 kbps and it is attached to a hub it will divide the bandwidth between the to hosts
secondly pl check your lancard ( 10mbps or is it a 100mbps)
I would sugest you go in for a switch for full bandwith on both the nodes (systems)

you call your (isp)
GET THIS SET TO DISABLED
(GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING )
it dont matter what router you have you need to get
(GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING ) set to disable
is your router safe?
you need to call your (isp) server
they have to get you in to your router home page
then from there ..copy & paste the router home page
into a notepad then save that to a back up cd
now from there they have to take you to the part
where (GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING ) is
then you click on ( GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING) icon
then at the top of the page on the right your see
configure.. you click on configure
then you .. UN-TICK .. the box ( GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING)
that is ticked there ...
then you click look down the page your see
<<<
if you have a wireless router
and then ask them where you set up a wpa-security key dont use a 128bit wep key ask to use a wpa- security that is your router security key and you pick the wpa-security key not your (isp)server . just ask them where you set one up they will say use a wep-key ..ignore them you say your going to use a wpa.key and want to know how to set one up and remember you pick the wpa-key not your (isp)server or they will use your network
now you close off the page
and clean out your internet address bar
