Trouble connecting computers

We have three computers.  Two are connected between a router.  The
router is connected to the internet through a hub that connects to
another computer and to the internet through a router/hub (sun rocket
device).  Things just won't come together.  Any help would be
appreciated.

A diagram of what I'm talking about is connected to this link.

Drew,

If you have 2 computers behind a router, and one computer ahead of one, you have
a problem.  Why do you need two routers?  Is this solution of use:

Let's start by looking at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all", from each
computer, so we can diagnose the problem.  Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!):
