No..U dont need to keep any system On for internet access on other system.

Do like this:
1) connect modem to switch using LAN cable.
2) connect all computer to switch using LAN cable.
3) give power to switch.

Done!!!

All LAN cable should be striaght climped.

ask for LAN cable and straight climped.

Support for 100 m wire will depend on modem capability.

General modem can't support 100m wire.
Give a trial ...and if it doest not work..than U may need to buy switch or router.

are you using wifi modem.

All modems software comes with inbuilt firewall.You need to do setting to enable firewall and set security features.
