In order to connect more than one computer to a dsl or cable modem, you often have to use a router to share the 1 ip address that you are offered. Some ISP's will allow you to get more than 1 ip address for a price per month. If you are using a wireless access point it may only allow one connection at a time. I would say to try and see if it will allow more then one connection to connect at a time.

If it is wireless, they should be able to access the router by just being in range. If it is a wired router then if it has some open CAT5 ports (look like big telephone receptacles), you have to run a wire (cat5 cable) from the modem to their computers.
