You can't use a hub... you need a switch, preferrably a router that has an integrated switch if your modem does not assign DHCP info for multiple connections.

Using a hub, you are getting collisions and having IP conflicts.

Now you said it is a hub by Linksys... is it not a router? (just wanna clarify what we are dealing with here.) What model Linksys is it?

To resolve this problem, if in fact you only have a hub, I'd recommend getting a router instead and configuring it to assign the DHCP so that both computers get their own internal IP address and don't collide with one another.
