Is this on different machines, or the same machine in a dual boot configuration?

If dual boot, I have no idea why you would loose power after a period of time.

If seperate machines, is the hub powered? Or unpowered?

If unpowered, and different systems, the W2K system may be supplying less power to the USB ports, and doesn't have the capacity to run the modem through the hub. See if you can add a power supply to the hub, or try a powered hub.

This is the same machine that was built with w2k but when this problem appeared xp was installed over it an cured the problem
