Computers conflicting over LAN AT+T @HOME BLOWS!!!!

[jamesghoward]

I have three comps in my house networked to a cable modem. When a certain combination of comps are all sending and recieving info, they start laggin each other up, ie/ computers a+b and b+c work well together, but a+c will lag each other up. Does this sound like a network problem inside my house, or something to do with the at+t @home network. Btw At+t are so pathetic, they offer extra ip's but dont offer network support, god it makes me want to scream sometimes!!!!

Get rid of the hub, buy a cable / dsl router with a switch. No colisions on the switch, no fighting for a port, or wasting time sending to un-used ports on the hub.
