That is right. Knowing that you aren't bridging on the gateway, if you
connect two pc's directly to the gateway, and another to the gateway
through a switch, they will all need different prefixes (they'll be in
different subnets):

192.168.1.x
192.168.2.x
192.168.3.x
etc.

In this case, you WILL need at least four NICs in the gateway, and you
will need at least three different NAT configurations.

I'm at a loss of what you are trying to do, primarily because I now
envision a scenario where you have multiple switches with cables going
everywhere (possibly back to one another), and have no idea what your
physical layout truly is.

You need to answer the questions in my other message before I can even
begin to comprehend what your setup is.
