Unfortunately I'm going to have to interpret what you said, so if I'm wrong you're going to have to explain.my

"friend is trying to get me cable from my bro with a linksys hub"

You're trying to hook into a cable modem via a hub for an internet connection? Yes? If so you're probably going to need some type of software (like ICS in Win98SSE), or some type of device to share the connection (Cable/DSL gateway device (okay, router)).

"but he cant do it he says that they are harder than a router"

Umm, harder in what sense? Because you need something to share the connection? I mean a hub is plug in wires, that's it. There's nothing to configure on the hub itself.

I don't know dick about ICS, but it's Internet Connection Sharing and it's included with Win98SE.
