Can anyone help?

I'm having trouble keeping my CPU and my PS3 connected to the internet at the same time.

For the longest, I've disconnected the modem (let it reset) and then plugged in the PS3 and that worked fine. But today I decided I didn't want to do that anymore and bought a router (a 5 port Network Hub) model # NH1005-WM.

So, I plug everything up, but only the CPU connection works. PS3 is doing the same thing it did when I first bought it. It cannnot find the IP address. So, I decided to unplug the router from my CPU, reset the modem and try it that way. (THE OLD WAY)

That worked for about 5 minutes. Had both (CPU and PS3) running an internet connection at the same time. But, all of a sudden the CPU told me I had "limited connectivity" and now I'm back to square one.

My set up:

telephone wire >>> ARRIS Modem (mod# TM402P/110) >>> 5 port Network Hub (model # NH1005-WM) via ETHERNET CORD into UPLINK port >>> PS3 wired connection via ETHERNET CORD port 3 (not the 5th port that's disabled because of UPLINK)

Any suggestions? BTW, I don't want a wireless connection.
