Help with hub

For my school I run the computers for our newspaper program and they are all on a small local network. They just all go to a few hubs and then to eachother and it works fine that way. My one problem is that to get internet I must plug directly to the wall plugs and cannot go from the wall into my hub. The wall simply wont send information to a hub. I talked to a few people and from what I am told when the school's network was setup they somehow made it so that the wall wont send information to hubs, only dirrectly to NICs. It would be very convient if I could get this to work so that I had internet on my local network. Does anybody have any ideas or thoughts that might help me out?

Thanks,

ever think of a router? that would probaly work. Better than a hub, because it's made to harness an internet connection.
 
Thanks for the quick help guys.
I talked to my friend who knows a lot about networking (it's not my specialty) and he also said that I might want to try a router. I'll give it a shot.
Thanks again.
