    If you're referring to a USB hub, they are used to connect peripherals, such as keyboards, external hard drives, etc.  To connect multiple computers, you need to set up a local area network (LAN) using an Ethernet router.  You may already have a WiFi router with some Ethernet ports.  In that case, you run Ethernet cables to each machine, or put wireless USB adapters on all your computers.

    XP has a network set-up wizard to help set up each computer.

    You can also put your printer on your LAN so it will be shared with all computers.  If there are files you want to share, you can set up shared folders on each computer, or install a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device.  Those act like a small server to provide files to all of your computers.
