the cables will be the same, a cable is a cable

the nic will also be the same as long as they are 10/100 eathernet devices

crossover is only for two computers

to use a hub, you want to use a stright through cable

id you have a cable internet connection then you want to use a router with a switching hub built in, and all the computers will connect to the switching hub on the router with stright through cables.
