Possible to share USB HUB with 2 computers?

[aceO07]

I have a DELL 2001FP monitor that has a USB HUB on it. I use it with my keyboard and mouse hooked up to it.

Is it possible for me to hook my laptop to the USB HUB and use the keyboard and mouse, without unplugging the USB connection to my computer each time and plugging it into the laptop?

He would be better off using a Keyspan USB Device server, then any computer on his network could use any storage device, printer, joystick, etc attached to the server.
