Yes, buy a SOHO router. Plug your switch into a LAN port on the router and then plug your clients into the switch. While not absolutely necessary, it's a good rule of thumb to use a crossover cable to connect the switch to a LAN port on the router.
Ensure the clients are set to get their TCP/IP information from DHCP and let the router's DHCP service connect them. If you have the router, and it's DHCP service properly configured, the clients will get an IP and connect to the internet pretty much as soon as you plug them in.
