I suggest you take a look at shorewall. It is easy to setup by
changing well documented config files and there's documentation on
the website, should you need it.
You will at least need to change interfaces, masq, policy, rules
and zones in /etc/shorewall.
Maybe I am forgetting something, but getting it to work was so easy,
it should be rather obvious what's needed in case of problems.

If you connect two computers over ethernet directly, you need a
cross cable. I use a cable modem to connect to the internet. My
setup looks like this:
Modem --> eth0 in gateway/firewall; eth1 gateway/firewall --> hub
All local machines connect to the hub. Once a default gateway has
been set along with the most basic networking configuration the
machine can talk to the internet.
