sharing my pppoe cable modem internet connection by wi fi

I have a pppoe cable modem internet connection. the internet cable connects directly to the network port (rj-45 lan port) on the back of my pc. there is a single port. I want to create a wi fi network with my above connection. Is there any way to do so. what will the devices which are required. is there any usb device which can create a wi fi network while being attached to my usb port.

It may be cheapier to buy a linksys wireless router and plug the cable modem to the wan port on the router and there is a 4 port switch in the router already so you could connect another network cable from the router to your pc and the router is wireless so you got wireless now for your other wirless devices, just by buying this cheap device you should be able to get it used on ebay or stores if you have a small budget. My opinion of course and the benefit going this way is you will not have to keep your pc on all the time. compared having the internet run through your pc first. The router will allow other devices to connect to the internet when your pc is off which is a big plus.
