Thank you to all of you that have helped me.
Ok,  it has been my understanding that sharing an internet connection is
possible with a dial up connection.  Was I mistaken?  We live too far out to
get DSL or cable.  If I was mistaken, any ideas on how to make it work?
Thanks Huge for the site of  D-link, there is another article there that
informs me that this hub will not allow internet access through it.  So if I
can share a connection with dial up I'm looking for a router.  Any
suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
