You need to plug the USB cable directly to a USB port on the computer. The PS/2 connections will only interpret keyboard or mouse signals (green for mouse) using the correct usb to PS/2 adapter.
If you do not have a USB port, you may be able to get a USB PCMIA card (or similar card slot add-in depending on your system). These will work with most Operating Systems (Win98SE and beyond) depending on the card and the computer. Listing one:
IOGear Hi-Speed USB 2.0 CardBus
I hope this helps.

(BTW, the keyboard USB to PS/2 adapter will not work for a mouse and vice versa. The wiring is done specifically for the device standard.)
The connection on the rear of the hub should go to a USB connection on the laptop, not a PS/2 connection. A PS/2 to USB adapter is used to connect a PS/2 keyboard or mouse to a USB connection.
