personally i would opt and get a router. i have a cable modem and i use the router to recieve an ip from the ISP then the router issues my lan IP's via DHCP. its really easy and works really well.

currently i have my xp/xbox/freebsd machine online even tho my isp issued me 1 ip.

the chain works like this.

ISP -> cable modem -> router -> my computers.

if you want to go the free way you shoudl look at ipmaskerading and ipchains for linux. this will give you firewalling and software routing for your machines.

as for the last questions. check out ssh for secure remote connections.
