xp home unable to connect to internet via hub

Did you try IPCONFIG?

That will tell you if XP home grabbed a new IP address.

I've had no problem with any of my XP machines browsing
through my ROUTER to the NET.

Email me if you have additional questions, I may be able
to help.

xp home computer is unable to connect to internet or
able
to see or be seen by other computers when it is
connected
thru a hub which in turn is connected to a router to
adsl
modem.
When xp home is connected directly to router, everything
is fine- all computers can see each other & get on the
internet.
ip address on xp home system defaults to some ip address
& subnet mask when connected to the hub. Please help me.
thx. the lights are green both on xp home & on the hub.
but no activitity. when connected thru a router, it gets
the correct dhcp address & subnet mask assigned by the
router.
Other systems on the network have win 98, 98se, xp pro,
win2k server. it is peer-peer; no dns involved; dhcp
automatically assigns ip address.
