Can't figure out why you have the hub - router arrangement you have. But as has already been noted your issues look to me to be router rather than VNC related.
If your Internet connection is plugged to the hub and then the hub to the router, it sounds like you have that (the hub) plugging into the WAN port on the router (it would have to be or you wouldn't get your other PCs unto the Internet via the router at all). If that is the case then it is no wonder the PC on the hub cannot see the other PCs (connected wired or wirelessly to the router) as that lone PC is on the WAN side of your router and the remainder are on the LAN side, thus separate subnets. > As you might expect, when I pinged the uncooperative PC by name the host was unknown. Correct (by the above scenario) - not in the sub-net. > > And pinging other machines from that PC, either by name or IP address, yielded no connectivity Again correct (by the above scenario) - the lone PC is outside the NAT router and thus to all intents and purposes it's "on the internet." Most of these routers will block ping (as it would be regarded by the router as some busy-body on the Internet trying to probe your LAN). > when I connect all of the machines to the LAN ports in the wireless > router I can do ping all machines by name with no problems. Any Once again correct (by the above scenario). And if this is the case (that you can connect all of the machines to the LAN ports in the wireless router) then why have the hub (and the lone PC) where it is? Unless you have a very good reason (and I can't think of one!) for having the hub where it is I'd move the hub off the WAN port and unto the LAN side of the router and plug the internet connection directly into the WAN port of the router rather than via the hub. That should move you forward a bit.
