Thats what you get when you use a hub... Data is sent to all ports and data can only be sent one way at a time using hubs, so when both computers are trying to send, you get a collision light..... If you get a router, which is a full duplex machine, you can send/receive at the same time on multiple channels, which is part of the reason they are a little more expensive. So I believe everything is working correctly, anyone else think differently?
