I am on broadband with NTL. The connection comes from the back of the set top box and goes into a USB on my PC.
I want to get both PC's running on broadband but am unsure as to what I need to do or buy.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

You need a router. Does the STB have an RJ-45 Ethernet socket that the router can connect to?
See this thread on same subject: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=220168 and http://homepage.ntlworld.com/robin.d.h.walker/cmtips/register.html#pacereg for info on the procedure for connecting the STB to a router.0 -
I'm on NTL broadband, my Linksys WRT54GS router is connected directly to the ethernet port at the back of my Samsung STB. As per Chippy_Minton reply above, you need to register your router with NTL the first time you're connecting via the https://autoreg.autoregister.net/start.html or as mentioned, using the CDROM provided by NTL. You need to do this once.0
