Default Automatic Private Address

I am attempting to setup a network to allow acces to an ADSL modem.
The modem has been working for about 2 years on a single laptop
computer.
The modem has a single Lan connection which connects straight to the
Laptop.

We now wish to gain acces through the ADSL modem from another 2 PC's
in the office. I have used a 5 port Hub/switch, connected the modem,
and each of the laptop and 2 PC's.

The Laptop connection to the internet still works, but I am having
trouble with the PC with the IP address type being set to Automatic
Private Address instead of DHCP Assigned.

Is this because the modem, having only a single port, can only
interface with a single IP Address ? And a second computer necessarily
needs to have a different IP address ? or should I be able to get this
working ?
From what I've read here I'm starting to think that I need to get a
multiport modem.

Regards
Mark
