This will take a little more research, but I think it will work. If you let the first NIC go to the cable modem, then add a second NIC to the new computer and hook THAT to the hub...I believe XP has builtin functionality to let you share the modem. I'm sorry I don't know for sure, but I have done nothing but Unix for 2 years.

The computer will act as a firewall/router. The problem is you need to have a unique IP address on each machine, and your cable modem only gives you one. So you do it like this:

Cable Modem-----------216.24.23.244
                       XP MACHINE
                      10.1.1.1-----HUB------Win 98 Machine
                                            10.1.1.2

The 10.1.1.1 and 10.1.1.2 addresses get masqueraded and appear to the outside world as both coming from 216.24.33.244 (or whatever IP address you get from the cable company).
