However, if you're using DSL or cable instead of the internal airport dialup modem, then you will need a regular ethernet hub to get it all to work. Some things in your message aren't very clear. For instance, does your setup work with the built-in ethernet in your PB? If it does, then your cableing is correct and you'll have to mess with the card and it's software and setup.
