I'm not talking about using it as your hub. Xp is just better with the network wizard, to establish the connection between the computers. It's always best to start with the XP computer, even if it's not going to be the hub. It just works better. Try using the network wizard that comes with XP and follow all of the prompts. It will ask which computer you want to use for your hub...and if I remember right, it actually comes up with a diagram.
