I have the same SOHOWARE package and a cable modem but I just found out from
reading MaximumPC magazine that the 100BaseT hub ONLY works at 100, not
10BaseT.  Cable modems can only work at 10BaseT.  There are hubs that can be
operated at either speed but not the SOHOWARE.  I always seem to miss some
key criteria when I buy hardware.
