Take it in little bits:
1. Get the new PC working with the DSL so you can access the
internet from it.
2. Choose a firewall package, e.g. shorewall (or just ipmasq).
3. Perhaps also put something like dnsmasq on it.
4. Hook the home network to it so that it is dual-homed
(one NIC to the DSL, one NIC to the home network switch).
5. Ping and test.
Each of these steps should be covered in many places:
debian-reference
HOWTOs
shorewall-doc.
Good luck.
Doug.
