It sounds like you need to setup your internal machines to use you
router machine (the one with 2 NICs) as their gateway.
If your internal machines are Linux, you can type:
# route add default gw router_machine_name
This only works if there's already a route in the route table to
router_machine_name (sounds like there is from your description).
If they're Windows, you can put the gateway IP in the network setup
somewhere.
