if i want to use a hub how can i do that....in the same configuration....incase i want to connect more then two computers....

If you want to connect using hub/switch and more than one computer.

Then connect the staright CAT5 cable from DSL router to the HUB.

Then connect other machines on the same hub.

Then you need to configure your DSL router to be a DHCP server, so that all machines on the LAN can get IP address and can access the internet.

Also, configure the PAT on your DSL router. By default it is configured, so just open the HTTP web console from any of the machines using the DSL routers LAN IP address and configure DHCP server options.

though i have connected both the PC, the network status on one of the PC is showing network cable unplugged, though it is plugged in, wat could be the reason,

Have you connected both machines to the hub.

Try interchanging the Cables. It could be possible that cable might be faulty.
