THe hub must have three unused port (duh..hehe)



Then connect the wires from each computer into each port available on the hub.



Once all are ok (try to access internet from each pc), then the next step is to configure the HOME NETWORK



1) Start--%26gt; My Network Places



2) Setup a home or small office network



3) Next, Next , Let me choose another way blah blah



4) Other, Next



5) Select "This computer connects directly to the Internet or a network hub" --- First option



6) Then complete the installation by clicking NEXT....and so on.



7) No need to make installation diskette.. just finish



Do this on all 4 computers.



If you do it correctly, you should be able to access files across each computer.... e.g computer 1 can access shared folder on 2,3,4...and vice versa.



NOTE** Sometimes Firewall can pose problem. To test, temporarily turn off the firewall, just to see if indeed firewall are causing the problems.



Cheers!
