This is not good. A hub just provides electrical interconnection; it
doesn't provide any routing or packet filtering. You've packets from
what appears to be two separate networks hitting each NIC. You want
both machines on the same subnet.
A couple of people have suggested you get a router; this is a good
idea, but generally speaking, with only two machines you shouldn't
see significant bandwidth contention if both are configured properly.
A router/firewall will give you a lot of things, but it shouldn't affect
your data transfer rate significantly.
