Hi Geoff -

It sounds like you either need to plug your DSL router into the
hub with the crossover cable or use the 'uplink' port which is
usually on one end or the other of the hub. (and may have button
near it which turns it into a normal port.) The only difference
between an uplink port and a normal one is that the uplink port
crosses over like a cross over cable.

You'll know when you're connected because you get the 192.168
addresses. Those other addresses are what DHCP clients decide
on when they can't find anyone else to talk to.

Good luck!

Andy
