As far as packet loss / collisions go yep get a switch (reminds himself to get off his lazy arse n buy one as well) Also why not look at ipfw/ipfilter and nat so you need 1 external ip and internal 10.x.x.x 172.x.x.x 192.168.x.x addresses. Theres plenty of good docos around (handbook, freebsddiary, deja groups, google searches) on how to go about setting this sort of thing up.
