A simple router will do the work like said just hope that all ur comps can take an ethernet connection.

yeah connect the modem to the router going in and connect all the computers to the outgoing ports of the router..... you can decide if you want a wireless one or nott but keep in mind if you get a wireless one you will need the wireless cards for any computers that you want to connect to it without wires (the wireless routers usually have a few cable connectors just in case so....)

If you get wireless, make sure to get some good security programs. Also, you should make sure you check to see if the company you are getting DSL from allows you to share from one computer to the next. I know it seems silly since you are paying for it, but some still will try to void your contract and dumb things like that if you do :x.
