I have a Netopia R9100 router connected to a Linksy EF2H24 Hub and LAN and Internet access is fine. I added a second Linksy EF2H24 Hub(uplinked from the first hub) and users can access our LAN but not the Internet. Any suggestions. The router has only one uplink port.

Network OS: Windows NT 4.0 (Sp6)
OS: All Windows 9x, 2000, XP Pro

How can users connected the second hub on our LAN access the Internet?
 
Is distance between the two hubs less than 16 feet? If greater, you may have a problem...

Do you have any other 100 Mb hubs on the network?

You may want to get a small switch (Linksys) and connect that to your router and connect the two hubs through the switch...
