You cant connect with a switch - you must buy a router so it can assign and manage the internet addresses. If you have two Ethernet (network) cards in one of the computers then you could connect the broadband to one computer Ethernet port and the switch to the other port. You then run Windows Internet Sharing on that PC. In that way the first PC manages the connection in much the way as a router would. It's just much simpler to buy a cheap router.

Good Luck
