Then as i see it, just setup routing and make sure your box has
IP_FORWARDING enabled,
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
1 = do forwarding 0 = dont.
You will i imagen already have a route to your ISP, and of course a
"default" route VIA your ISP also, add routes to the LAN boxes via your HUB
and you should then be done, of course thats just the basic idea, i am sure
other with a ADSL setup will advise beter than i can.
Other boxes on your local LAN/HUB would then point ALL routes to you.
