Why aren't you hooking the router up to the internet and then hooking the computer up to it? (You can connect routers into routers btw).
Or if you don't want your pc on a router, I suppose you could hook the internet up to a switch(or a hub) and then connect the pc and the router up to that(though you'd lose your WAN IP).

Unless, of course you're getting your ethernet only via wifi, and you want more connections. In which case you just need a bridge.

I can't tell what you mean by "share that internet to my ethernet". Do you mean connect a router to the ethernet port on your computer so that the internet access goes through your computer to the router?
If you want to use your router as a receiver, many routers can be set to bridge mode. Mine can be set to repeater mode, but that depends entirely on the make, model, and firmware of the router.
