How can I get OP to work online through my hub?

Specs:

host machine OS: Win XP
client machine (the one I'm posting from btw) OS: WinME

networking protocol: Microsoft Networking XP *and* ME (works fine so far)

hub: Linksys NH1005

I could care less if OP works on both machines at the same time or not, I'd just like this one to work!

I'm guessing that you need to configure Internet Connection Sharing to forward the necessary ports to the machine you want to use. ICS acts as a firewall/router and will need some configuring to use. I'm sure the hub has no effect on things.

how?

I have not done this, and I'm only guessing at how you have your network setup, but the place to start is in XP's Help and Support on the Start Bar. Enter "add a service definition" in the Search entry and you should be in the right place.
