what should be the problem? I did some time ago when the ISP gave us
only a single IP address. The local machines connected to the gateway,
the gateway connected via a second interface to the ISP.

Of course, only the gateway was visible from outside. If you want to
access the internal machines from outisde, you will need NAT.
