I know you use a cross over to connect a router to a pc, but what do you use to connect a router to a modem?

Should be a straight-thru cable for both.
Only time you need a crossover cable is some switches need them is ISLs (Inter-switch links) and for connecting two PC's together for networking using the ethernet ports, without a switch/hub.
A crossover cable swaps the Transmit & Receive wire pairs.

The line usually goes from the modem to the PC goes to the router instead and PC 1 goes to the router port no 4 PC 2 goes to port no 3 and so on.

This would be a very strange modem indeed. The typical configuration for modems is for them to be hung off a controlling device like a PC. To share to connection you can set up a small local net with a cheap switch.

you must use straightover cable for both
crossover cable is used to connect similar device
straightover cable is used to connect to dissimilar device.
Anything you take but it is dissimilar device no,
so u must use straightover cable.
