Chad,

How many computers do you have - two or three? How are they connected?

Specifically, what is connected to the cable modem? Did you connect the XP
computer after the other one (two?) was working?

Am I reading you exactly correct - is it a HUB connected to the modem? If
that's it, then you are wasting your time.

Only ONE computer can connect to the cable modem and get internet connectivity.

You need to replace the HUB with a NAT router. The router will share the
internet connection.

See these websites and their useful tutorials:
