hmm, this solves a bit of the questions i had about the other topic. sorry, i shoulda read this one a bit better replying to the other one.

hubs are designed to forward every port to every connection. no clue if they have built in firewalls or lockable ports though. i've got a few extra hubs lying around, so i'll do some testing with them maybe tonight or over the weekend.

whats the wireless terminal thing thats plugged into the hub? is it just a single port thing plugged into the hub? or can it support multiple computers? (thinking the wireless terminal itself might be a router type thing, click this like and see if it takes you anywhere: http://192.168.1.1). the hubs uplink port should connect to the internet/modem/whatever takes the line outside.
