I have two computers and one cable modem. The two computers are connected
over a LAN and i was wondering if I plugged the cable modem into the hub so
both computers could use it if it would be a perfect 50-50 bandwidth split
between the two. Also if I am not downloading anything on one of the
computers, does the other one get the whole bandwidth to itself? Any advice
I could get on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

If you do this, you'd need another IP address.  Yes, they'll share the
bandwidth, but not perfectly... there are just too many other factors
in the mix.  If you're only doing something on one, then yes, it'll
get as close to 100% as it can.

Or, Just simply add another lan card to the computer with the cable modem,
(I.E. computer has 2 lan cards, one for cable, other for lan). Additional IP
address's shouldn't be needed, but it is rather complicated to set up,
although it should allow about 50%-100% speed, I would configure the actual
LAN's to use T-100 base lans, so the only bottleneck would come from the ISP
itself (cable modem), as far as speed is concerned.

Jeremy,

A hub works without thought to divide your connection to the outside
internet. Any connection that is idle take up 0 bandwidth so you answer
is YES to your computer getting 100% when the other is idle but the
50-50 split is more complicated. For simple answer, Yes. If you are
talking more complicated network math, NO.
