If its a hub, then it won’t have routing abilities. To share internet you’ll need a router.

if i remember correctly a straight though cable will be fine between the systems (i used a straight through cable to connect my router to a system) & the hub but Addis is correct about attaching a router to 1 port of the hub, then allowing 24 systems access to the net through the hub

Straight through cables are fine. You can also setup Internet Connection Sharing your main PC. This will act as the router.

megabytes, Addis has given you the answer already. Buy a router.
