    If all three computers are connected, it should be a matter of just plugging in the modem to the switch, unfortunetly, how your modem is gonna support this is not definative, it might require that only one computer be logged on, then the others access through it, but that seems unlikely.

    This is dependent on which modem you have and how it is connected. If you have a ethernet modem and it supports NAT you could enable that and connect it to the switch. An USB modem is a different cup of tea I guess.

    But you provided too little info for a more specific answer.
