We use a Netgear wireless router...most of the laptops are connected using wireless (and just using DHCP), with only 2 of the fixed computers attached by ethernet (with static IP).
Using NAT/port forwarding so we can have one computer as webserver, another for FTP, another windows box accessible through Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection (so you can run a Windows session from a remote Mac), etc..
We access from the interent using Apple File Sharing, FTP, but looking at setting up a VPN for more security, which has the advantage of allowing you to join the LAN from outside the office, so all addressing is as if you are on the local network, and you can easily access multiple computers, printers, local messaging etc, using the same addressing as when you are at the office.
