I get 2 ips with my cable modem so I pluged it in a hub. At first a realy cheep hub and then a real good one a D-Link 100meg hub. And i still get the same amount of collisions. I change my network wire to. And I can't use the 100meg feture it won't work.

A lot of collisions? What type of cabling are you using, and have you tried moving to STP cabling instead?

You should have got a switch. With a regular hub the data is sent to all the ports before it finds the right one, thus causing collsions. Switch sends data only to the port that is intended.
