No small office network connection and General Host win32 error

I'm setting up a small office network for the senior center my grandmother
runs....it's a 4 computer network. I've got them all on a wired network
through a hub on a cable internet connection. I've got all of them onto the
internet, and three of them networked together. The fourth computer, I keep
getting a General Host win32 error on startup, and it won't network in with
the other computers. I can't get the exact error log cause I'm not there,
just trying to get some starting point ideas before I go in tomorrow. I've
run the general virus scans and not come up with anything. Help would be
greatly appreciated.

First of all, replace the hub with a router. It will be safer and work
better.

Then either call a professional computer repair person to go on-site and
take a look at the computer that is giving you trouble or post back after
you've had a chance to take a look. I'm afraid that without knowing exact
error messages and computer specs, it will be impossible to give you
focused troubleshooting.
