    If the modem has an integrated switch (i.e. multiple network ports), you can plug both into that if you have enough ports to go around.  If the modem only has one network port, that will plug into the router and the Flex and computer will both plug into the router.  Either way should work.

    If the Modem has a built in router then you want to plug into the Modem as you DO NOT want to be double NATed. 
    If you don't have enough ports on the Modem and it is also a Router I would add a 1GB 8 port switch and plug everything into that switch, just remember the MOST important thing is you DON'T want to be double NATed
