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.

Hi
I a not familiar with the VOIP device, but if it is a Router too, than the
second Router has to be configured  as Switch, or a Switch with an Access
Point if it is Wireless, http://www.ezlan.net/router_AP.html

Let see, based on your diagram computer 1 and 2 will be able to see each
other, and be able to share files. The router between Computers 1 & 2 and
Computer 3 will act as a door and prevent Computer 3 from accessing
computers 1 & 2 normally. Depending on how you have your two LANs (IP
address) setup the SunRocket router may prevent Computer 1 & 2 from
accessing the internet. You may want to look at this page,
http://www.ezlan.net/shield.html and this diagram
http://www.ezlan.net/network/shield.jpg The "Front Router" would be
equivalent to your SunRocket router. The "Shield Router" would be the
equivalent of your  "Router".

Is your SunRocket router a VoIP router in the sense that it has a Telephone
port, or is Computer 3 providing your VoIP services? I'm wondering what you
wish to accomplish with your setup, and what problems you are having?
