Be sure you have the modem connected to the proper port on the router. Did you enable some form of sharing on each computer?

After rereading your initial post it does sound like you may be using the wrong port on the router to connect to the modem. I'm not clear on exactly what hardware you have. Router with 1 port or more than one? Uplink to an additional hub? Also, what OS is running on the one computer you can't network? All the computers must have at least one identical protocol installed and have the same workgroup. The most common is TCP/IP.
