Belkin 4 port USB Hub

B

Blue

My windows XP computer is connected to a Belkin 4 port
usb hub. When trying to use the other hardware connected
throught the usb hub, my computer with WinXP is not
reconizing the 4 port usb hub. I have another computer
connected to the 4 port hub and it is working fine.

I tried to download drivers for this particular hub but I
cannot find a match.

How can I solve this problem?

How and why do you have more then one computer connected to a USB hub? A USB
hub is for 1 computer and the rest are for other USB devices to connect to
that computer not another computer.

i ve had this with a reinstall with sp1a- i reinstalled
th generic usb hub in device manager and it spontaneously
sorted itself out after 1 or 2 coincidental restarts. a
minor nuisance only.

The USB Hub probably has one port which is designed to go to a computer
and four for devices. I suspect the one that works is connected to the
one designed to go to a computer and the one that doesn't is connected
to a device port. To connect the one second computer so it can use the
other 3 ports for devices you probably have to use a crossover cable
such as you would use for a direct link between two computers.
