I have one PC hooked up to a DSL modem. I want to temporarily connect another
PC to my DSL connection. Would an Ethernet switch work for this, or do I need a
router?

You will likely need a router.

Other options are to temporarily disconnect the first PC, or to use the Internet
Connection Sharing function of Windows.

I recommend the router. It's relatively cheap, and much easier to configure
than ICS.
