If the new computer has an Ethernet card installed (network card), simply obtain a normal Ethernet cable (there are two types -- normal and crossover. If it doesn't say "crossover", it's normal) and plug one end into the router and the other end the computer's Ethernet port. It's the only port it will fit into. The Modem port looks similar, but it's smaller. If the new computer is configured as it is by default, it should work almost immediately. Launch your Internet browser and surf.

If you have problems, repost and we'll tell you how to troubleshoot it.
