You're going to need something called a router that will split up your connection amongst your computers and your xbox.  The Ethernet port from your modem will go into the router and then you connect your computers and xbox to the router.  That way they all have access to the internet.  Most popular brands are linksys, netgear, and d-link.  Might I suggest the BESFR41 from linksys.  You can find it for $50 or less at your local BestBuy, Circuit City, etc.  Good Luck.
