I just got a network hub to network my 2 computers, I have everything connected broadband in the input and both computers in the other ports, I have ran the setup wizard and everything, and, one computer has internet but is not networked with the other computer. The other computer is not connected to the internet or the computer, when you go the lan status on the one that is not connected at all it says limited or no connectivity....Have tried just about everything I can think of and cant get any kind of a network working......suggestions?

Sure it's a network hub and not a router? A router would work better. Make sure both computers are in the same work group, rerun the network setup wizard on the computer with the internet connection, save those settings to a floppy or flash drive, then run the wizard that's on the floppy/flash drive on the other computer and you shouldbe good to go.

If you are running from a hub and not a router, your internet provider has to assign a second IP# to the 2nd computer you are trying to connect to the internet. Routers generate IP#'s but hubs do not.
