The easy way to share the internet connection with some PCs in the back
(assuming there is a correctly configured network) would be to enable
IP-forwarding (with /etc/sysctl.conf -> enable ipV4_forward).
Second step would be to enable NAT, e.g. "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING
-s 192.168.0.0/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE", assuming the internal network
is 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0. These rules can also be defined in
/etc/sysconfig/iptables.
Either way, we know nothing of Azeez´ config and especially have no
specs regarding his requirements. as a result, I would prefer to know
more about the setup before telling him how to do this - just as Bill
said (it was perhaps in a rude manner, but nonetheless perfectly ok).

Azeez, what you need is not trite retorts from resident list imbeciles
(see Bill's response below), but rather to employ an iptables firewall
application/script. There are numerous available to meet any need
from simple to enterprise-capable. Firestarter, Shorewall, and I
believe there is a basic firewall configuration utility in the
distro. The web-based firewall gui in Webmin provides a very simple
rudimentary funtion for this. There are many others. Keywords:
firewall, nat, masq.
