most routers have a built in hubs, all current ones that i can think of actualy, probably what ferrit is refering to.

if you have only one LAN port, then you do indeed need a hub. if you have more then one LAN port, then you don't need the hub.

*if you need the hub*

The hub will have an uplink port, you will need to connect this to the router
you will then need to connect the computers to the hub

you should now be good for sharing internet

*if you don't need the hub*

Just connect your second computer directly into the router
