Whoa. Lots of stuff.

Sharing a dial-up connection is different from dsl. My (old and limited) understanding is that you'd need 3rd party software to share a dial-up. Have you identified the computers to the nic/network? (You didn't mention operating systems, etc.)

First read the general info here:

Regardless of what Hub you bought.

Forget about the Internet (for the moment), and make your Network functional.

Some setting info can be found here:

If the Network works OK, then it is the time to attend to the Internet connection.

If you have a Router that can take care of DialUp connection then the Router manual will tell you how to connect to the Internet.

If you have a regular Hub then you need to use Internet Connection software.
