Actually, you cannot do it that way unless each machine has it's own
internet address. Some providers allow up to three addresses. Beware
that you will need to have ALL your machines as secure as possible if
you go this route, OR you will be "HACKED" (Bad choise of words, I
know!).

Another option is to use a "cable router". Linksys, Netgear and others
have them available for around 100 USD.

I use the Linksys. It is actually a 4-port switch with a built in
firewall and router, and a port for connection to your cable modem. 
Seems to work pretty well for me on roadrunner.
