If the modem is ethernet, you are all set. Cox uses DHCP, so plug up to it and go.
The modem looks for MAC addresses so a simple splitter may not work. If you know DHCP is working but your modem does not, unplug the modem and let it forget the other box you plugged in. If you want to share out to other computers on your home network, you can try using a WAP or other commercial router or smoothwall and an old box. The fastest way, if all you have is a spare network card, is to use Mepis with guarddog and guidedog, graphical firewall and IPTables configurers.
