just out of curiosity can you try using a different dns server. If you go into control panel, click on network connections, right click your network connection, right click and properties, click tcp/ip v4, click properties click on use the following dns server addresses and type in 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, these are the addresses for the google dns servers. CLick ok to come out of all of that.

Click start, run and type in cmd to bring up a a command prompt and type in

ipconfig /release

and then

ipconfig /renew

and this will clear all your old settings and bits that the pc was using and get new ones with the new dns addresses.

If this works you can over write the dns servers the hub uses (hopefully) so your whole network will go to google for name resolution and not VM.

(and before anyone starts whining, I know it doesnt look like he is having a problem with DNS, I am just curious)
