..Here is what I have 2 computers both with win 98se, each have 1 network card, have a 10baseT 5 port hub, and just purcharsed the linksys BEFSR11 router, also have all the cables, and a fujitsu speedport dsl modem with verizon as the provider, ok now on the what I need to know...RIght now neither computer is even networked so I need to know what to hook up to where and do I need to get the 2 hooked up before trying to install the router? Both computers dont have the previous setting still there from being networked before as they both have been re-formated. I looked around this site to find the setup but forgive me if I missed it somewhere.

Thanks so much!

Hub's uplink > router's LAN port via crossover cable (if hub doesn't have an uplink, use a crossover cable)
PCs > hub via patch (aka straight through cable)
modem > router's WAN port (use the cable that came w/ your modem)

I believe your router comes w/ one crossover cable and one patch cable.
