yes and no:

yes, if you have ip addresses for each computer on you network from your isp.

no , if you only have a single ip address. In this case buy a ROUTER, it
does exactly what you wanted___share internet connect with multiple
computers.( a router is actually a switch with routing function, you can use
it extactly like a switch! )

no, i dont want to use the internet simunteneously for each computer. just connect all the comps to the switch and then dial individually, so as to i would have to disconnect from one comp to connect from the other.
