Couldn't you use a cheapo router-and-hub combo that does NAT (Network Address
Translation)? Then all the outside world would see is one IP being used
(whether it's a statically assigned one or a dynamically assigned one via
DHCP). And you could configure a mini network behind it. Of course, the
traffic through that router/hub could be quite large if you use both devices
simultaneously (for those of you who are multi-tasking capable).
