You need a router to distribute your internet connection. A switch will only allow one computer to access the internet via the broadband modem...

Besides a router, you can also connect internet to on of the machines which will act as a proxy for the others.
In this case yo network will a peer to peer network.. To have internet on other computers, either make their IP automatic use the proxy optional in the web browser options..
Hope this works for you..

Yes, You have to use a Internet router to share Internet to other computers. You can use Windows Xp Pro , Windows Vista, or Windows 2003 Server or Windows 2008 Sever to share Internet Using ICS (Internet Connection Sharing).

A switch can not interpret the packets from the other machines, you must have a router.
