we just got a eusso 5-port hub. for some reason we only have 1 ethernet connection on our pc so in order to run the internet & the xbox thru the computer we need to have the hub. we have it hooked up where the comp & xbox are detected thru the hub, but the internet isnt being detected at all. nothings plugged into the uplink, powers good, no collision.
what do we need to do to make it all work?

If you want to share the Internet and the Xbox through the switch you also need a router.

You needn't have bought the switch to begin with as most home routers have a four port switch built in.
