You need to setup a firewall via ipchains or iptables (best) which will
include setting up masquerading so your network is masq'd behind your IP.
You also will need to turn on ip_forwarding so your linux box will forward
the network traffic thru the firewall and to the internet.
If you decide to use iptables, rmmod ipchains then chkconfig ipchains off so
ipchains isn't loaded and iptables is available.
http://netfilter.samba.org is a good place to start to learn iptables.
