CAT 5 Splitter? *ANSWERED*

Is there such a thing? I'm talking about something similar to what one would plug into a phone jack to split the connection. I have my desktop, and now a notebook that I recently got which I may want to use simultaneously. Now that I'm thinking about it though, I probably won't be able to have the same IP for both computers. My setup is basically CAT 5 cables run throughout the house which all go to a central location where those cables are then plugged into a router which is hooked up to a cable modem. Any suggestions as to how I could use both of these computers at the same time in the same room? Or if my idea would work? Thanks.

Splitter for Ethernet, aka Hub/Switch.

I.e. Buy an Inexpensive Hub/Switch.

Link: Good Deal - Auto Sensing Switch.

Put it in the room with the two computers,

Each computer and the cable coming from the Router is plug into the Switch, and the miracle happens.
