I should say that how you share the Rogers connection depends on your
hardware. You can get something called a "router"  which allows you to
share your Rogers connection among as many computers as you desire
(practical limit of 30 for consumer routers). Routers can be had for
as little as $10 and I regularly see routers which have "wireless"
capabilities built in for $30 after rebate (it doesn't hurt to have
the wireless capability since it means you can add wirelessly
connected computers in the future... oftentimes it's cheaper/more
convenient to hook up a desktop in another part of the house
wirelessly (AirPort) than to run an ethernet cable to the location).
