This is from the Sygate FAQ ;
"q12. Are two network adapters required to use SyGate with my cable modem or
DSL modem?
Yes. You must have two network adapters for SyGate to be able to use the
cable or DSL modem. The cable or DSL modem plugs directly into one adapter
and the other computer or network hub plugs into the second network
adapters. SyGate then routes information to/from one network card to the
other. "
Looks like you need another NIC installed on your machine. You can't run
Sygate off an uplink on your hub.
