You need to get a router, which is what gets connected to your modem, and then can split off to many computers (including wireless if you buy a wireless router). You cannot hook up internet through USB (at least not to my current day knowledge).
To your questions, no.



Get a "router" from a company like NetGear, D-Link, etc.



Hook the ethernet cable from the modem to the router.



Run an ethernet cable from the router ports to each computer.



You're done.
You will need to purchase a router. About $40 at any computer or electronic store (or Walmart). You hook the cable from the cable modem into the router. It will have several more ports where you can connect as many PCs as there are ports. Once plugged in, just run the setup CD on each computer.
