Definitely!

You will just need a router (Less than $100 with built in hardware firewall).

The IsP's connection enters the router and as many PC as there are ports can be attached to it.

A small, basic 4-port router should suffice in yoru case.

Here's a few to look at that are inexpensive and found almost everywhere.

You can add a wireless adapter, great for notbook computers, but you will need to add a PCI wireless adapter card for most desktops.
