Default quick network question?

I am just swapping from blueyonder to a much cheaper adsl provider, my friend has kindly given my quite a snazzy alcatel green usb powered modem!

I want to share the connection with my xbox and at some point possibly another pc or laptop, can I jsut do it with a switch like this one:

Any suggestions appreciated..

The reason I ask this particular one, because I can get one deadly cheap!

You can just do it using that, however you will need to get your PC to work as the gateway using something like Internet Connection Sharing.
