Hey there back
Well guess your gonna proxy.
theres a good D/L on networks at http://www.avirt.com in a .pdf format.
It will explain networking a little better. they also have the manual for there software available to D/l that can help you with proxy.
I have had there program for a while its worked real well except for the virus called "windows" I never had it crash on me.

All joking a side if you assign a IP address to the nic(network card)to the hub in the server. You should be able in the client machine IE "properties" under "connections" tab under "LAN" click on manual proxy and put in the IP address of the server and assign a sock number of 80 or 8080 and it might surf... easier than it looks
See if there book helps they have a 30 day trial on there programs also the last one I put in for someone lasted 90 days.
Something to think about

I've done this myself and have 4 computers hooked up currently to a single DSL connection. Most likely, you're using PPPoE. I personally like sygate's internet connection sharing software. Take a look at http://www.sygate.com/support/documents/quickstart2.htm It has some excellent info on setting up your lan.

Analogx has a very simple and small program that works pretty nice also.(Called Proxy) Its free and has a good readme file that will explain how to configure. www.analogx.com/contents/download/network.htm (http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network.htm)
