Netgear has a very nice product.  A 4 port 10/100 switch integrated with a
firewall/router does NAT and firewall duties (and lets you share your
internet connection)

More details? http://www.netgear.com/products/rt314ps.shtml

I know stayonline (http://www.stayonline.com) has them for about $140-$180
(depending on discount level)
