IF the hubs have "uplink" ports use this to connect to a port on your "master hub" with a normal cable
IF they no NOT have this port
connect a standard port on each to the "master hub" using a "crossover cable"
As stated before for better performance, try to find SWITCH (better and faster than a hub) that has enough ports. I got a 24port 100mb switch of ebay a while back for under £1

Hubs normally either have an uplink port, this connects to a normal port on the next hub. Sometimes this switch parallels a normal port or is switchable. Alternatively you can connect a normal point on each with a cross-over cable. Better is to use switches, or one large switch. Most of these autosense the type of connection, so they connect from any port to any port on another switch with a normal cable.

Connect the main ethernet port of two of the hubs to auxiliary ports on the third hub, and then connect that to your main internet connection.
A better idea would be to find a hub or switch that supports more ports, as the daisy chained connection above will be somewhat slow due to the extra hops.

Only if they are "stackable" hubs.
