Patch 45 cable??? never heard of it

If your looking at the ends of the cable do the coloured wires stay in the same place?

you should yous standard cat 5 network cable from the modem to hub & hub to PC.

put the modem into position 1 on the Hub & the PC further down.

after that try & ping the modem.

think u will find u need a router not a hub to share net conection.

The only other way to do it is to put 2 nic's in one machine one for internet other for network and then set up internet conection sharing in windows

sorry mate

you are 100% correct in your statement...

After chattin to the techie helpline i was told the exact thing... I'm off back in a couple of days to get the hub returned and to get a router...

Patch 45? You mean RJ45.

RJ45 is a normal 10/100/1000mb ethernet cable.

Also you CAN use an adsl modem on a hub as long as you set everything up correctly and it also depends on the actual model of adsl modem. ;)
