Take a look at IP-Masquerade HOWTO. It allows you connect an internal LAN
to Internet with only one valid IP (e.g. that you got from your ISP).
I had a similar setup: a Linux box w/ 3 NIC's, one of which has a valid IP
and about 35 machines (any OS) on the other two (with 192.168.x.x IP). All
Internet conections appears as been originated from the Linux machine.
It's only a P100 w/ 32 MB and it did a nice job for this.
HTH.
