Comcast broadband, router: only one PC at a time

Just got married and moved in with my wife, who has Comcast cable broadband.
(Had previously been on Verizon DSL.) She has a Motorola SB1500 SURFboard
cable modem and a LINKSYS BEFSR41 router; runs Windows XP Home. (Pretty
sure it's SP2.)
Looking at the quick setup guide for the router, I tried plugging my Windows
XP Home SP2 box in. Didn't work. Tried a few things, then finally got it
to work when I found that I can get one computer (but not both) running
broadband. Pattern seems to be that the one I plug into port 1 (or whatever
it's called) on the router works, but not the other.
Any suggestions on how I can get both to work simultaneously? I did some
web/USENET searches on this, and can't quite figure it out. (I went to the
admin web page for the router, and it says it's set up for 50 PCs, not
merely 1.)
TIA,
S
