Just get a Broadband Router with 4 ports. They can usually be found for
under $50. You will, however, need to run ethernet cables from the router
to each machine (and to the cable modem of course.) Another option would
be to get a wireless broadband router and wireless network cards for each
computer. That's a little more costly though.
