To begin from the beginning, in a typical set-up of this sort:
1. Your have your DSL Modem
2. Your multi-port Router is connected to your DSL Modem. It is your Router that connects to the Internet, in a sense. It then distributes the connection to however many computers you connect to it (see 3)
3. Your computers are set up to get their networking info. from the Router, and when this is done properly, you can connect to the internet.
Now, this has already been done on one machine. Try the same settings in the relevant Control Panel (OS9) or in OSX System Preferences/ Network on the other machine and plug in the ethernet cable. Should work fine.
4. If you want to connect more machines to the internet, and you do not have enough sockets in your Router, buy an old hub or switch and use it to "expand" the Router's available ethernet connections.
