It's real easy. You gotta have a router to share broadband Internet though...I'd just buy a Wireless Router with a few ports on it. The notebook will work fine on it as well as the PC's connected to the hub. You'll need to connect the hub to the Wireless Router with a CAT 5 cable. The Wireless Router should have at least 4 wired ports on it so that shouldn't be a problem. The wireless experiences I've had have been good with Windows XP...I've heard it's a bit of a pain with Windows 9x and 2000 though.
So basically...the 3 systems upstairs on the hub will be connected to a Wireless Router via a CAT5 cable between the hub and the wireless router. The desktop and notebook downstairs will need a wireless card to connect to the wireless router upstairs. After getting it set up physically it shouldn't be too hard to get it working. If you have problems, I'm sure many of the people here can help. A few guys here know a TON about wireless networking (Mr. Mephisto comes to mind).
