An excellent starter read is "Black boxes explained, Router? Bridge? Switch? Hub? What's the difference?"

http://www.practicallynetworked.com/networ...ridge_types.htm

It explains what each type of device does as well as the similarities and differences.

They have some good analogies too.

But the key is to have the right device for the job.

Switches are used to control the flow of traffic inside a network; they are not designed to connect two networks (your LAN and the internet) that is the job of a Router or Server.

So, how are you sharing your internet? Using a Router or using a Server?

Is there a difference between the one that works and the one that does not?

Also, check the IP addresses. Most routers and switches come preconfigured with a default IP address. You cannot have two devices on the same network with the same IP, so often when you add a switch to and existing network (either managed by a router or server or connected with another switch ) you have to change this default IP so as not to conflict with the one the other is using or one assigned to other equipment.
