Each end device connects to a hub at the centre of the star and hubs can be daisy-chained together to form larger networks. This is the normal way to handle private wired ethernet and does not introduce noticeable delays.
Your problem is that you've declared your Mac as both the RPi's gateway and, since its where your client web browser also runs, LMS thinks that, because the gateway and browser have the same IP, the browser belongs to somebody else out on the internet. The simple solution, if your router has more than one Ethernet port is to transfer the RPi connection to the router and set the router's IP address as its gateway. Now LMS can see that the gateway and client browser IPs differ, so won't need a username/password. If your router has only a single Ethernet socket, buy a 4-port hub (readily available for under a tenner from Amazon or Ebuyer) and a short ethernet cable (another couple of quid). Connect the hub to your router and both Mac and RPi to the hub and set the router's IP address as the RPi's gateway IP. Job done.
