I agree that the best thing to do is to replace the hub with a router and rebuild this network from scratch. It might be easier to do it that way instead of trying to resolve all the problems...maybe?

Latest issue is a hard drive crash on the Reception computer...but back to the current issue:

I'm still not able to connect to the other computers over the network although I can ping the IP addresses from each location and receive replies back and I'm able to access the Internet from each working station. I don't know if I mentioned that the DSL modem is connected to a PCI NIC which in turn has it's own IP address (that is different from the rest ..ie not 192.xx.xx.x)

I'm sitting here in a fog looking for articles, references, and any other bits of information that I can find...maybe I'll take a trip to Fry's and do some research in their cafe'.

I appreciate your responses.
