If you connect the laptop to the shub (modem mode) can you access the internet. If you can you should also be able to connect the shub using 192.168.100.1 (can you?)
Cant think of any other questions at the moment but make sure you reboot the shub every time you change your configuration.

My modem and router is upstairs but I generally use the laptop downstairs and connect to the internet via wifi (along with a rarely-used media PC and PS3). No usual wired connections to the router or the Superhub (other than the cable between the SH and the router when both are set to router mode).
Thanks to babis3g's tip, I can now access the modem directly once again via lan 4 so can more easily disable modem mode when my testing fails!
I've attempted to connect to the Belkin router with the SH in modem mode through both lan 1 and lan 4 and, although the icon lights up indicating there is a wired connection, there is still no internet connection via the router. The modem light on the router flashes yellow (instead of the blue of a settled connection) when I am plugged into lan 4 of the SH but shows nothing when plugged into lan 1. The internet light of the Belkin router stays resolutely off on both occasions.
I cannot access the SH using 192.168.100.1 through the Belkin router, however the laptop is connected. I can access the Belkin router via wireless.
I don't need to change the IP address of the Belkin's LAN, do I?
It's years since I needed to fiddle around with my old Linksys router so I'm afraid I can't remember much of anything I had to learn back then!
