Its LAN
Most computers today consist of many processors. Most business computers are connected via hub/switch/access point. Most broadband home users are connected to an access point, only fraction of current home computers use a hub/switch.
Really depends if the hub is connected to a modem and an active ISP then it would be a public IP address from the ISP. If your hub is connected to a router, then it would be a private IP address provided by the router. There are different types of hub, I can post the link for you the varieties. If only computers are connected to the hub, then no ip address.
On-site support is provided via Internet for the HomeConnect Home Network Ethernet Hub.
Powerdsine 12 Port Power Over Ethernet Hub is reasonable priced and is capable of connecting to 12 different computers, the next alternative is the HP 12 Port FiberChannel Hub which can also connect 12 machines, just not over ethernet.

I think I can answer your question -- once you ask it. 802.11 is a wireless ethernet protocol, there are currently 3 subtypes; a, b and g. In order to have any computers or laptops connected to the same network, the wireless access point would need to be plugged into the ethernet hub. Unless the wireless network is subnetted, i.e. the wireless access point provides the IP addresses for its client computers, the WAN port on the wireless access point may not be used. The AP may be connected in client mode, i.e. connected via a LAN port and not the WAN port, bypassing the internal router, if one exists on your model AP. This allows the wirelessly connected computers to get their IP addresses from the network DHCP server. Perhaps this may already have answered your question(s)!
two computers connected to the same hub AND two computers connected to the same access server
You need an Ethernet hub. Connect your modem and both computers to the hub, and both of your computers will have a connection available. The OS's only affect the connection settings on each computer.
You can connect computers through various type of ports (e.g. through Ethernet (wired or wireless) , USB or Serial port. What port you pick, will depend on your application needs and at what speed you want the connection to work. If two computers have 10/100Base-T Ethernet port these can be directly connected using a crossed Ethernet cable without need of a switch or hub. - Neeraj Sharma
1. Go buy a piece of equipment called a "hub" or "switch" and some "ethernet cables" 2. Hook the computers to the hub with the cables. 3. Next you'll have to figure out how to assign your IP addresses. Note, if you buy a "small home/office router" you just set all of the computers to use a network configuration called "DHCP." It's under your "network bindings"
One can purchase an ethernet hub which would allow two computers to share a link with the same modem. This will simeotaneously link both computer from a up using a tcp/ip protocol.
You do not have to connect your router to your PC via ethernet cable, you can instead connect via wi-fi and your router must be connected to your hub.
