To elaborate -- if your hub is an older one and has a port that says
'uplink', it goes to the Yahoo!BB modem.  The cable from your PC's eth1
card goes to any port other than the one shared with the uplink.

Some new hub/switches has "Auto MDI/MDI-X" ports, which means you can
plug your Y!BB modem/PC into any of the ports.

Anyway, if you plug into the wrong port, the LED on the hub will not
light up so it should be fairly easy to tell.
