Yes but it'll usually be a hassle. In that case though do not buy a router period since it would add to it. Simply plug the modem directly into the computer while the computer is off. It should auto-configure right away.
If you keep a router on one end so that you can plug in the other two at teh same time. You'll find it a pain to unplug the modem and plug it back in frequently. You'll most likely wind up powercycling or renewing your ip a couple times.
Do NOT run a cat 5 to the garage though. Patch cables aren't designed as outdoor cables.
The easiest solution was suggested- A wireless router and 2 wireless cards. Computer 1 connected to the router via cable.
Have to take a chance on how well the wireless reception is. But if you do indeed get a signal you shouldnt have to worry about losing internet speed. Your internet speed shouldnt be more than 3mbps MAX download. Buy everything 802.11 G.
