    You might want to post your question in the Windows XP networking
    newsgroup. They're located here:

    http://support.microsoft.com/newsgroups/newsReader.aspx?lang=en&cr=US&dg=microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web&sloc=en-us

    Also, you might want to include some additional information. For
    instance, what brand and model number is your "hub"? I use the
    quotes because I think what you're really using is a router. You
    also might want to go into a little more detail as far as the
    static IP's are concerned. What numbers did you enter?

    Good luck
