That doesn't sound right at all, are you using a switch instead of a router?

You cannot connect few computers to a one Internet connetion without some kind of Routing mechanism.

Well the setup of the hardware and cableing is flawless heh... but it is still only on one computer.. do i need to configure a network to split the internet.. or dosnt the router do that already....?

What is the model of the router you are using?

Make sure to plug the cable modem into the WAN, and everything into the LAN. If that doesn't work try resetting the device.
