Opton 1: Get a network hub, connect it to the line coming down from sisters room, then run lines to your comp in the garage and dad's in the basement.
Option 2: get a second router, connect it to the extension jack in the original router (forget what it's called), put it near your comp, and run a line from it to your comp and your dad's.
Option 3: get a wireless router, and possibly an access point if the distance is far from your sister's room, and remove the need to run wires. Any computer that plans to use the wireless access will also need a wireless card...PCI for desktops, PCMIA (something like that) for laptops, or if the computers already have wireless capabilities you are all set.
