D-Link Residential Gateway, about $84 on Buy.com.  It is a NAT box, 
configurable with a Windows GUI or directly through a serial port. 
Ethernet to the modem (e.g., xDSL)  and ethernet to the local 
network.  Does DHCP to the local hosts and can live with PPPOE. 
Accepts a static IP address.  I have one at home, and it works well 
and is easy to set up.
