Help sharing cable modem

Hi all,

I want to share a cable modem between two PCs. Basically I don't want to run software internet sharing, and would like both to have internet access regardless of if the other is on or not.

I'm limited to one IP address.

I am wondering if I could use a switch such as this one (http://www.pcdirect.com/product.asp?Sku=NHCO243654-001) to do this?

Or if not could anyone recommend the hardware I need to do this that isn't very expensive?

Thanks!

on edit: Could this "router" do what I want? (http://www.compuhq.com/dlindi6exet4.html)
 
Yes any "router" (I hesitate to call it that - more like a NAT box) would suffice.

Linksys, D-Link and Netgear all make very popular options.
