Internet Connection Problem.. (with HUB)

[nebchrslin]

I have 2 computers connected via a HUB. One computer has a solid connection - incredibly fast and no problems. The other computer just crashed - I can't 'repair' or 'renew the IP address', and when it is connected (like now) it's incredibly slow only through Microsoft related products. Netscape is fast but Internet Explorer is slow.
Any solutions? I'd like to be able to hit 'renew' under Net Connections and have it back to normal but for some reason, it is not working.

Have you tried clearing the internet explorer data like cache and cookies and all that?

Could it be caused by a Windows problem like virus, spyware, or a network card driver which is making your internet not work?

How is the connection if you bypass the hub?
are you running off a cable modem? If so you are only getting one IP address from the modem unless your set up to get more from your ISP.
if the connection is still slow you may have a bad nic. try switching the nics around and see what happens.
if the problem goes away by-passing the hub then get a router with a 4 port switch instead.
Hope this helps!
