Nick-
It should work very good and it is pretty straight forward to setup.  They should provide a coax splitter so you can hook up the cable box and modem at the same time.  You then connect a network cable between the modem and your computer.   Your pc may have a built in ethernet port already.  What is the make / manufacturer of your pc? What operating system are you running?

Mind you that this setup will provide minimal security and places the security details to the software setup on your computer.  A more secure setup would place a router / firewall between your cable modem and your pc.  Linksys and Netgear are 2 popular home consumer brands.

How are you currently connecting to the internet?
