[dba-Tech] Hub problem

Have a look here

http://www.networkclue.com/os/Windows/commands/ipconfig.aspx

You could try to do an ipconfig /all

and then an ipconfig /release

followed by another

ipconfig /all

on the workstation connected to the hub.

You have to do Run and then cmd.exe to get a dos box to do ipconfig
