Get a combination router/hub. I use SMC Barricade, others here use Linksys and Netgear. Wired versions now run about $100.00. You will need a short straight thru CAT5 cable between modem and router and CAT5 cables between PC's and router and a NIC in each PC, about $10-12.00 per, or for a little more you can go wireless. Wireless router and wireless NIC's in each PC. Very easy to set up. Basically you are transfering the DHCP address to the router from the PC.
