I would buy a router and set-up each pc to automatically acquire IP addresses.   Run the DSL modem into the router and plug the PC's into the router.  You could even get one with a built-in wireless access point if you want to use a wireless laptop in the future.  there are some good deals since manufacturers  are unloading wireless-G boxes since they are  converting to wireless-N (wireless-G will work just fine with a DSL connection).
