Nope, the setup should be modem -> router -> switch. There are combined routers and switches if that's an option for you.
I don't know how many IP's you have available, but since you don't have a router (with NAT), I assume that you have more than one but fewer than five IP's. So you could skip the router and go modem -> switch then switch or have NAT enabled (for 'sharing' the same IP internally) on your first computer which is connected your second computer, thru two nics, a switch or whatever you want. I don't know how to set this up with windows (if connection sharing works with this setup), but with *nix it should be fairly simple.
