Well dude, you got a wireless cable modem. It can always allow multiple computers on the internet at the same time.

First thing you need to consider, is your second computer a wireless computer? which means, does it have a wireless card in it? or its just a regular computer? Mostly, (not all) laptops are wireless capable. Desktops can be wireless too. It really depends on the capability of your second computer.

Your SBG900 modem has two ports at the back. One port is for a cable that looks like a phone jack and the second port at the back of your modem, is a USB port.

Granted that your first computer is connected to your modem through the phone jack/cable. Then your second computer can be plugged into the USB port. You just need a USB cable for that and no need to buy an adapter. It will ask you to install the USB cable connection though so you need to have the CD or installation disk of that SBG900.

but if you want your second computer to get online wirelessly, then you have to buy a wireless card/adapter (if it doesn't have it yet)
 
...to hook up my other computer? I want to be able at access the internet on my second computer. I haven't found an adapter that is compatible with the modem.
