But you wouldn't need to give the two PCs the same MAC address to do that -
all that would be required is to power cycle (reboot) the modem when changing from one PC to another.

However, as scastle said, a router would make it a lot easier. No need to swap leads, no need to reboot the modem. And they are *very* easy to set up & use.
