Why did you get a hub?
A router makes this very easy, and they are usually inexpensive.
Did you set up ICS?
Post ipconfig from each computer.

Subject: [PCBUILD] Network setup revisited

First of all, thank you everyone for the previous help! But now I need
more... :::sigh::: 

I obtained a good hub, two correct network cables, and ran the Windows
XP network setup wizard on each computer. I specified this, the master
computer that connects to the Internet, as "Raymond's Computer." It's an
eMachines running XP Pro, Version 2, SP 2; it has a standard modem. The
other computer is "Margaret's Computer," "Home 11," and is a Compaq also
running XP Pro, Version 2, SP2; it does not have a modem, just a network
connection. The workgroup name is MSHOME. 

For some reason though, I _still_ can't get these two computers to talk
to each other! -- and can't get the secondary computer onto the
Internet! I tried several different things, tried three different
troubleshooters, and tried plugging the network cables into different
slots in the four-slot hub. I am just about at my wit's end, so I'm
going to drop it for the evening, and wait for your help -- for which I
thank you again!
