First things first, you do not need a router to play XBox Live; i have 2 Computers and Xbox Live networked in the way im guessing you do.
I am using a standard 10/100 switch; installed as follows:
The 10/100 switch is connected to the computer downstairs, the computer upstairs, and the xbox.
The modem is plugged into the computer downstairs via USB, however, you can use another ethernet card and plug the modem into that.
Doing it this way, you will not need to unplug anything to use anything, providing you have the correct amount of ports, of course!
As for your file/printer sharing, there is no reason why you should not be able to share, i am able to print from both computers, to each computers printer, and share files and the internet connection.
I hope this helps
