It is MicroHub/6 TP1006C from Compex
Yea, a Network Interface Card are relatively inexpensive nowaday, you should be able to pick one up at around 20 USD. I was wrong before when I urge you to find a way to access the configuration on a hub (Fact there isn't a way, its "hardware divider" that divide all the traffic to the connecting PC on all ports, thus from my research an hour before.. leave no way for you to route a specific range of ports to the your server).
In theory, ICS through a designated Gateway might do the trick .. but it will require you to reconfigurate your network.. plus there's a whole bunch of port forwarding setting that I simply never touch before. Next cost-effective method would be for you to buy a router (You can even return that 6 ports Hub of yours currently) and use that as your main "network agent".
Routers are a bit more expensive then hub but offered hardware based firewall (So really its another tough line of defense for broadband users on the Web, beside a regular firewall that you might be running), ability to share Internet (Just as easy as that Hub of yours), the all important ability to specific port range forwarding (Vital to get your designated DXMP server to be available for Internet players, as well as secure that port when you aren't serving/ Or other applications), etc... So it can replace the current "Hub" with no problem, even offer you a few more useful features that I listed above.
Last I check, a good if not excelent 4 ports router from Linksys sells around 60 USD. I'm sorry I can't help you anymore with the configuration of your network, as far as I know your hub simply isn't made for the server routing and so forth; Router is more up-to-date alternative that should serve up for atleast a decade.
Leave the switch setting alone by the way, You don't want to touch unless you're going to expand yourt network with other hub, switches, routers ..
