Hello, I've got a really annoying problem with Windows XP Home version, and the problem is this:

We just got a cable modem, yay, bought extra IP's and a hub so we can all use it, first computer hooks directly up the modem, works, no problem, then i hook up the hub, hers still works, mine doesnt, so i disconnect the hub, and hook mine up to the modem directly, mine works, so we hook the hub back up, and everyone else plugs into the hub, and they all work perfectly. So, the problem is this: Windows XP sucks monkey nuts.

I am completely at a loss as to what is causing this problem, since my computer works when i hook it directly to the stupid modem, and other computers work when run through the hub, just not mine. The other computers are running windows 2000, 98, and ME, the only one that doesnt work is mine, and it's making me angry. please, anyone with a suggestion got some help for me?
