To setup the Linksys router, you need to read (and printout) the setup section of the manual.
This will provide all the instructions that you need to setup the router to access the Satellite modem.

This assumes that you do not need to run special software to access the modem, and it is a 10 Base-T network (RJ-45) device.

If the modem needs special software, or is USB only, then you need to designate 1 PC as the 'server'.
Connect both the modem and the router to this PC.
Enable InternetConnection Sharing.
Install ICS client on the client PCs.
