873411 2010-04-06 00:58:00 Would I be able to get onto the internet if I connected a switch (with 4 pcs connected to it) to a single port modem?

Any help is greatly appreciated :).

The notable exception to this is TelstraClear's cable modems. If this is what you have, then you'll need to buy a separate router in order to share your internet connection among multiple computers.
