USB funky- is it a BIOS problem??

I bought a D-LINK USB hub which doesn't work on my Win2K system at home, but does work on a similar system in my office. Funny thing is that other USB devices like my mouse and scanner work at home.

Any ideas what this might be? I looked through all of my BIOS seetings, and couldn't find anything. I am thinking about flashing my Award 4.51PG BIOS, but I am not sure how to do it or whether it will help.

Thanks in advance
 
It works on a similar Win2K system? Not all USB, in fact most, USB devices are not supported in Win2k yet.

I purchased a Belkin 4 port USB hub (works great btw), and All it said was to plug it in, and it would work. Well that wasnt the case, I had to put my Win98 CD in, and re-install a USB file, after that, it ran fine.
 
Yes it is a similar Win2k System. D-LINK claims that WIN2K has native support for this device.

BTW I found D-LINK's support to be the worst and most unprofessional I have ever encountered. Anyone else have similar experiences?
 
Everytime i reboot, i have to pull out the usb cable on my brother lazer printer, and replug it back inorder for my comp to reconize it, any solution to this? its gettin to be a pain in the a$$. thx.
