im trying to use this 4 port usb hub and its not seeming to work for me. all my devices work when i plug them into the usb port. but i try to plug the usb hub into a port and plug a device into the hub and it wont recognize anything. Is there somethign to fix this? It's windows xp.
 
I have this problem with a couple of my devices.

Its to do with the power, my hub gets its power from the usb port.

so if the devices are powered from the usb port then they might not get the amount of power they need. The power from one port is spread across the amount of ports in the hub.

All my devices which have a seperate power supply work fine in it but some (like my scanner) draw their power from the port and dont work in the hub.

hope this helps.
