In order to share an ineternet connection you need a router to handle the assignment of internal DHCP IP addresses. As switches and Hubs do not have DHCP capabilities they do not correctly allow each computer attached to access the single external IP address from your provider. They will however as you stated allow interconnection of the attached PC's for file sharing purposes, diferentiating each pc by the individual Mac address or domain name.
