The fastest and easiest way is to get a little firewall box. They're

If you want to set it up so that you use a computer (e.g., linux box)
to be your firewall, you'd add a second network card to that computer,
and then put it where "<Firewall>" is in the above diagram.
It helps to draw a picture of what you have and what you want.
It also helps greatly to view the ASCII picture in a fixed-width font. :-)

Only cuz Stewart aligned the multiline connections on the right. This
should look all right fixed width *or* variable:
<Internet>
|
<CableBox>
|
<Firewall>
|
<switch-or-hub>
||||
|||+---<computer>
||+----<computer>
|+-----<computer>
+------<computer>
.

(Tho I'm sure this probably won't scale well.)
