Hi Mariano,

  If you don't have experience and want to start sharing your Internet 
connection quickly, I sugest using Firestarter. Is a simple to use Gnome 
GUI for Iptables.

  After a few simple wizard cuestions you'll be masquerading your LAN 
traffic. The only way to set the rules is through the wizard, so it 
isn't adecuated if  you want to do advanced things. But it is simple to 
install and set up.

  Kind regards.
