With all due respect, that guy appears not to have a clue.

The Internet connection sharing/Network Setup wizard handles NAT if you set up Windows to share a network connection. As for USB network hubs. While such a device is a theoretical possibility, I have never seen one. A standard USB hub (which I have seen) will not handle NAT.
