A dual speed HUB is one that supports both standards 10 and 100
It allows you to connect older network cards (10mbs) and newer ones (100)at the same time

What you need to share the DSL connection is a router
It will route the net content to the system that requested it.

You might want to give a read over at www.dslreports.com

They have some detailed areas concerning home networking that are easy to follow.
