I have 4 addresses total, 66.92.blah.blah. My setup, until the Linksys
broke, was (from "outside" to "inside"):
ADSL modem
Linksys (connected to the DSL not via its "WAN" port, but via one of its
"LAN" ports)
Windows Laptop (66.92.blah.bleh) - Linux "server" (66.92.bleh.blah)
That's it - pretty simple setup - the only wrinkle was the bit about the
Linksys not running NAT or DHCP, but just passing the traffic through to
the "internal" devices.
Thank you - as a last-second thought, it occurs to me that I might be
able to connect the Server directly to the DSL modem, then connect the
Zyxel to that - it's not really important to me that the laptop have its
own address.

Does the Zyxel have an option to turn off its DHCP server? If so,
you could use the same setup as you were using with the Linksys.
Turning on or off NAT should not be a problem, because that is
normally only between the WAN port the the rest of the network. It
should have no affect on the machines connected on the LAN side in
this case.
