Is your 6-way USB hub an external one? And if it is an external one, does 
your USB hub have its own power supply? Each USB port on your hub draws a 
certain amount of current. But the entire USB port on your computer is only 
rated for a maximum amount of current. If your hub is not self-powered (has 
its own power supply) then try a USB hub that is self-powered. It sounds as 
if the hub is exceeding it's rated current.
