You need a router. The cable modem connects to the modem's uplink port and the switch can connect to any available port on the router. This wll enable any computers connected to either the router or the switch to access the internet.

Suppose you have a computer with its Ethernet port used for a service other that internet. There is no way to combine services to the same router. how can this computer gain access to internet?
The easiest way to solve this problem: use a wireless connection. Many recent computers include a wireless NIC (network interface card), and can connect to wireless networks easily, leaving the Ethernet port free. This will only work, obviously, if this computer has a wireless card and there is a wireless network to connect to.If wireless is not an option, purchasing an additional Ethernet card will upgrade the computer to owning two Ethernet ports. One port can be used for the Internet, the other for this external service.
