Hello. I have three computers, hub and a cable modem. I have purchased hub in order to connect three computers in home network and to enable them access on internet at the same time. That was a good idea but implementation somehow evades me. Can you tell me what should I do?

Networking computers with hub will not provide them simultaneous internet access. HUB does not have ability to translate private IP addresses to one public address. You will need device that can act as NAT and that device is router. HUB can only use existing IP addresses and send them forward on local network. So, you will have to buy a router.
