I'd say you'd be better getting this:

And then flogging it when your done with it.

Is your modem like this?

as far as a know you cant just plug a new cable modem on as the mac address is bonded to the user account
yeah with ntl you cant use usb / either at the same time as that would be giving you 2 ips
because your being a cheap bastard why not enable connection sharing ?

I thought of that but if your only got one network card in each computer, won't that cause problems..

I suppose Modem USB to PC1 USB then PC1 RJ45 (via twisted pair) to PC2 RJ45. Would a 10/100 switched hub help?

you can still do it with 1 network interface its just not as secure
