Yep, that's it. It's not really the hub that is 'allowing' one computer on
at a time. Its his ISP that only allows one computer to have an IP address
(which is typical). To be honest, I'm still not sure how the world has
still not run out of usable IP addresses yet, even with most users using
dynamic addresses.
