Does this mean you're unwilling to buy a gateway/router?  That's the
simplest solution.

Else:
 Base computer with firewall software (you want this bad) and
   ethernet in card

 and...
 another ethernet out card in the base computer for each other PC
   wired to the base computer
 or...
 one ethernet out card in the base computer plus a hub for other PCs
   wired to the base computer

 and...
 a wireless card in ad-hoc mode for the base computer

 and...
 another wireless card for each other connecting PC

So, a base computer with ethernet in, and a minimum of two wifi cards to
use one satellite computer.

Which configuration do you choose?  (That is, what have you got, or are
willing to buy?)
