Mandrake Control Center can automate this process by clicking Network & 
Internet and then Connection Sharing.

Just set up the workstations to use DHCP and they'll retrieve all the 
information they need.  This is the simplist and quickest way to take care of 
this problem.  You should also have a firewall on the server to protect the 
workstations.

Some networking applications on the firewall may need port forwarding which is 
a bit more complicated.  However, a lot of firewalls have GUI frontends that 
can handle the port forwarding as well.
