The Hub worked for me, the hub has to support 100 base t though.
Also, when using a HUB, Only the RaQ to be restored, and the restore PC should
be connected to the HUB.
Be careful of tulip based cards. Some work some don't
I use NetGear FA 310tx NIC (recommended in the instructions), with a NetGear
HUB.
If you judiciously follow the instructions included with the CD, Restore works!
