I don't understand your hardware setup. Normally you need a "router" to share the Internet. Since, a "switch" does not provide the software to resolve the Internet traffic to multiple computers.

I suggest you Google "home network" to find instructions. There are some good sites that provide all the help you will need.

Good Luck
