Right now, I have both computers connected directly to the hub, using the cords that came with the hub. We wired the house with Cat-5, so they
should plug into the wall & connect a little more neatly - I'm not sure if there's a problem with some of the wiring, or perhaps one of the connectors, or if it just decided to work.
I thought I'd get my files off before I started troubleshooting that.
