yes you need to buy a switch, router or hub.

and a couple cables

you can usually get a switch or router free after rebates at places like microcenter
heres what one would look like

just wait for the sales and you can get them free

you will just run your cable to the modem then from the modem to the router
then youll use the two new ones that you will buy
one goes to the 360 the other to your comp
