Hello everyone, I'm not a networking Guru but I know a thing or to & require a little help from smart/experienced users on building a server.

I plan to build a powerful PC to run 5 (maybe 6) computers for my community club. I'm not interested in the specs, I just need to be able to use the same account from anywhere in the room (like they have in schools). To simplify, I have posted a PICTURE below of my plan, will it work?

My questions are:
1. Will the ethernet switch be plugged into the ethernet port on the main pc
2. If so, then how will I get an internet connection (as their is only 1 ethernet port on the main pc), would I have to connect the modem to the switch?
3. Is this configuration correct?
Thanks guys, I'm looking forward to your reply!
