Need Help,

I have just gotten a Belkin 6 port Firewire hub.  In the back I have plugged
a firewire cable from a G4 Tower, a G4 Cube, and as soon as I get a long
enough cable a dual 800 G4.  I have also plugged in a VST 80 gig firewire
drive.  

I am moving to a new location so as of yet I don't have the network set up,
but I felt if I had all the items in the hub I would be able to access them,
but if that is possible then I am doing something wrong.

When I first started the 80 gig. it appeared on the G4 tower desktop, I
plugged the 30 gig. VST hard drive in the front plug of the Belkin and that
drive appeared on the desktop of the Cube.  I could not find the 80 to mount
it to the desktop of the Cube, I also didn't know how to find the G4 tower
to mount it on the Cube as well.

As soon as I unplugged the 30 gig. from the plug on the front of the Belkin,
then the 80 gig. appeared on the Cube desktop.  I had previously removed it
from the desktop of the tower.

O.K., I then plugged the 30 gig. back into the front of the Belkin and now
it appeared on the desktop of the tower and there was no way I could figure
out how to get it on the Cube.

This is confusing I am sure, but there was no software with the Belkin, and
I think I am running the latest VST software.  Both machines are running OS
9.1 but as a final request will all this work as I move all the machines to
totally OS X?

Sorry for the rambling and for the learned this is most likely an easy one,
and thanks in advance.
