Bring back the 5 port hub and get a Linksys Cable/DSL router.

Don't even need the hub if they get the Linksys Cable/DSL router. The one we used had the uplink for connecting to the cable modem and 4 (or 5) ports on it. Just need the additional NICs for the other machines.

I second this. Not only does it allow you to do sharing, it also will add a modicum of security to your network as well. I have one at home. The LINKSYS product is great, but I did not have a good experience with the DLINK version of this product. I eventually returned the one I had purchased.

I agree with Mixer. I have the LinkSys router and it works great! I have two laptops hooked up to the same cable modem.
