Router to Switch to PC/Xbox for live?

Hi all, If I wanted to set up my xbox to xbox live I was wondering if this
set up would work:

http://img212.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img212&image=layout4zb.jpg

Where "A" is a switch (Netgear FS605).

The router is a Netgear DG834 (wired not wireless) with built in ADSL modem.

This set up would be the most convenient as the router is on the other side
of the house to the xbox and don't fancy laying down all the cables (also
not sure if we would be allowed), and as the pc is in the room directly
above where the xbox is and all we have to do is follow the aerial cable up
to the room above to connect the xbox to the switch, it would also be much
easier. Also am I right in thinking that a switch is more intelligent than a
hub and instead of just splitting the bandwidth in half it gives out what
the xbox or pc needs (so if the xbox isn't on, pc 2 would get the all the
bandwidth from the switch)?

Thanks

Yeah, seen hat before, but I have a free 2 month trial with Xbox live and
doing it that way I can use both.

Thanks
