Using a hub, yes, but not necessary with a router (more

here, the 'gateway' area in the networking folder (network
neighborhood) must be left blank and all are set to 'obtain
an IP address automatically'.

I guess I should have explained this better, the gateway and
IP address info is
for two PC's to identify each other.
