Isn't a 4 port router what you need?

Are you sure you don't just need a router? That allows three pc's to share the internet simultaneously.

If all computers will connect via ethernet cables, a wired router is fine. If any of them will connect via wireless, you'll need a wireless router. Look at Linksys and D-Link and get at least a 54G rated unit.
