Only 2 ports...USB/Ethernet...is it one of those

You should be able to login to the router, when you buy it to something like http://192.168.x.x

Will the web addy be enclosed with the router

The phone, I presumes plugs direct into the Vonage Modem, via ethernet?

Correct
Does this mean I do not need a "hub"..or is that the router

Thanks

Networking wise, if both computers can see the internet they should be able to see each other.
What OS's are the PCs running?
If XP Home or Vista Home, you should just be able to enable file and printer sharing, unless they have ended up on different workgroups. A guide to Vista f & p sharing is here.
PC is XP v2 PRO...Laptop is XP v2 Home..

Thanks

The two spare ports can be used in the same way as either a hub or a router but instead of using the automatically assigned IP's just use manual ones, with differering subnets you can have two seperate networks both with internet access or without...
