Yes. Just connect the hub to one of the ports of the 4-port switch of
the home router. If your current hub bridges ethernet and co-ax
interfaces, it should all work fine.

Otherwise, I have an ISA ethernet NIC I'll happily part with for $20
to replace your co-ax NIC on your old PC.

Networking is not my strong point, so I'll not comment on any advice
that's been given here. Compliments on command of the english language
to Todd, though.

Ubiqitous ..... now THAT'S a word not commonly heard.

For the record, give me Fear Factor. The ubiquity of ample bosoms on
that show makes Jeapardy pale in comparison.

catv tech, thanks for the kind words, though I had to figure out where
I'd actually said that.

Best Regards,
