You really should consider purchasing a router instead of using ICS
at this point. (which machine is the ICS machine?)

you say the firewall is disabled. is this windows firewall or some
third party firewall? you might need to uninstall a 3rd party FW
completely.

have you tried unplugging the other computers from the hub and just
having the edge machine online? reboot the edge machine. what
happens?

either way, please post the output of

ipconfig /all

Actually, I'm not using ICS. My ISP assigns me a dynamic IP# to every
PC that connects through the hub.

I tried disconnecting the other machines from the hub, but that didn't
change anything.

But here's the output from the "ipconfig /all" command:
