Just as a caution -- you'll want a *router*, likely one that 
provides NAT (network address translation...most provide it out 
of the box), not just a switch.  Sometimes your ISP modem offers 
those router abilities built-in; sometimes you have to spring for 
a secondary router.  Buying the wrong hardware will be an 
exercise in frustration with most ISPs (they only give you one 
public-facing IP address and the first machine online claims it)
