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. -- I use digital signatures and encryption.
