Me and my friends do this a lot, and its actually very simple. If you only
have one IP address (the static or dynamic one that your ISP gives you)
then the thing to look into is IP-Masquerading. It allows multiple
computers on a lan to share one ip address and therefore the connection
itself. And you probably will never find a howto more straightforward than
the IP-Masq HOWTO. Just follow the directions and its easy as pie,
especially if you already have your network setup.
I'm sure you will find it very easy to setup, especially with newer 2.2
kernels.
