A hub is a box with at least 4 Ethernet ports. It's for connecting multiple PCs on a local network.

If you have any questions about the terms I use, please Google them. You can get your answer a lot faster that way.

I will say this (again) - to connect any two Ethernet adapters, you need a special crossover cable unless you use a hub or switch in the path. Please Google:

Ethernet crossover cable

Ethernet hub

Ethernet switch

That site I gave you has info on all of these items. Please look it over better.
