Yes, after I sent that last inquiry, I read further and saw the 
review you mentioned. 

But question #2 was, does every computer have (need to have) 
a separate IP address in all circumstances? 

And question #3 was: Until I get the hub hooked up, can I just 
move the ethernet connection wire back and forth between the 
two computers?
