as long as they are all connected to the hub and each is running tcp/ip protocol they can get on the internet.. but without a DNS it is useless. Normally using a router you would input the DNS somewhere so it propogates to the pc's, but with a hub it would have to be entered manually. The DNS is dns.netvision.net.il at least that is what the trace route told me.
The internet workes with numbers. Tcpip addressing. But as you notice most folks hunt down their favorite search engine by their name.
Your ISP uses a dns server. When you type http://www.yahoo.com. The DNS server for your isp converts the name "www.yahoo.com" to the actual tcpip "66.218.71.113".
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem.
