You can go the simple and cheap route as follows:
Computer W running winXP has Internet
Computers W,X,Y, and Z each connect to the HUB through Cat.5 cables.
Cost ~$32 - $37.

Or the most reliable way(in my view), but probably the most expensive, is to use a barricade style router in place of the HUB. Computers connect as follows:
Computers W,X,Y,Z connect to the router using Cat. 5 cable.
The modem (External) connects directly to the router via. a serial port on the router.
Cost ~$110 - $140.
This is the system that I use at home and at College and it works great.
Recommended Equipment for this option:
USR-8022 Wireless Barricade Router ~$60 - $80.
Actiontec External 56k V.92 Modem ~$50.
Cat. 5 Cable ~10.
This equipment can be ordered on-line at www.tigerdirect.com
or mail-ordered from the same site.

You can also purchase wireless network cards to connect to the router in place of the Cat. 5 Cable.

Hope this helps.
