Hmmm... I can't quite follow your setup here, I guess it is something like:
Code:
[internet]---[cable modem]---[switch]---[office]
|
'-------[worstation] And now you want it to be something like:
Code:
[internet]---[cable modem]---[switch]---[office]
|
'-------[hub]----[worstation]
|
'------[new computer] But as it seems theres only one of the two computers connected to the HUB which can connect to the internet, right?

Glad to clear that out, lets see, the reason can very well be, that your ISP only gives you two IPs, one for your office computer, and one for the first one requesting from your HUB.
If your cable modem can be configured to do IP_MASQ, and act as a DHCP, then that would be the easy way, just have it masqing your internal net, and from the outside be assigned the one IP from your ISP, then on your internal machines set the modems internal IP as the default gateway.

Well, if you can't get something to act as a gateway or something similar, then it's pretty touch to get it working, unless one of your connections to the hub is through an uplink cable..? And that's the reason there's no link....
