There is probably some very easy way to do this graphically but I like this 
method:

Install ipkungfu from aptitude.
Go to /etc/ipkungfu and edit each of the .conf files. be sure to turn on 
forward.conf.
Run '/etc/init.d/ipkungfu start'.
Set the ethernet port on your master computer to 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0.
Set the ethernet port on your slave to 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0 with the 
default route set to 192.168.0.1 and be sure to configure the DNS entries 
in /etc/resolv.conf to the same ones your ISP hands out to your master 
server.
Connect the two ethernet ports with a switch or a crossover cable.

That's it! Be sure to configure ipkungfu's other options so you have some 
security.
