smc 7004 br + intel 8-port fast hub??

Hi, i have a little problem.
Im runing a dsl sharing network with the smc 7004, every computer is connected with a patch cable and everything is working fine.

but now i got an new computer and i want to connect this one and the other computer with an hub (cause there are not in the same room as the router and i only used one cable!) on the router.
for a while the connection works fine but after a while she dies and i cant connect to the internet anymore.
So, can't i use a hub on the SMC 7004??
What should i do?
PS: Sorry for my bad english!
Thanx

The SMC4000BR does indeed work with cascaded hubs and switches. I’ve done it. I would be troubleshooting cables to start with. What do the LEDs tell you? After it “dies” try opening a DOS window and…
C:>ping 192.168.123.254
Connect to the SMC router with http://192.168.123.254/, determine the MODEM IP address and ping it….
