adding a third pc to LAN and share internet. Help

[pboidi]

hello everybody, i have a dilemma to solve. I have a dsl connection and right now two computers are connected to the modem by cable. One is right next to it and the other one is two floors downstairs. The two computers are connected in a LAN. Now, I want to add a third computer next to the one downstairs using the cable that comes from upstairs. How do I do that? Router? Hub? Switch? you know how there are those telephone line switches for the dial-up modem connection...? I want to do the same thing but with a LAN. Please help finding the solution! Thank you in advance!
