I have Broadband wireless and would like to use it on 2 computers. I need to know if I need straight or crossover cables from the cable modem to router, then from router to each computer.

Router to each computer you need only regular (straight through) cables. What cable you need for the cable modem to the router depends on where you plan on plugging the thing in. Uplink port or one of the other ports?

NIC to NIC - Crossover Cable.
NIC to HUB - Straight Cable
NIC to Uplink - Crossover Cable (Uplink is NIC plug on Hub/Switch).

HUB (regular) to HUB (regular) - Crossover Cable.
HUB (regular) to HUB Uplink - StraightCable.

Cable/DSL entry (WAN) on a Cable/DSL Routers is an Uplink.

If your Modem came with Straight Cable:

Modem to NIC - Straight Cable
Modem to HUB - Crossover Cable.
Modem to Uplink - Straight Cable

If your Modem Came with Crossover Cable:

Modem to NIC - Crossover Cable.
Modem to HUB - Straight Cable
Modem to Uplink - Crossover Cable.
