The guys and I plan to have a council at my partners house who has road runner. We all have network cards, and he has a hub, but only 8 ports on it and there will be 9-10 of us there with our systems...wondering if we should use a router to the hub, or just go get another hub.. Any suggestions???

Definitely use a router...make sure it supports assigning DHCP addresses though (Amazing that those little dinky cheapo routers can do something that a Cisco can't, isn't it?). A 4 or 5 port should be sufficient. If you insist on using a hub make sure it's a 100 Fast Ethernet hub. I personally would prefer to just use a router with as many ports on it as possible...they make 5 port broadband routers, and the ports are sometimes switched (meaning everyone gets full LAN bandwidth)
