Phill,

Have a look at IP Masquerade while you'll at a go on the HOWTOs.
Basically, you need to do these:
1.)Compile IPMasq, Firewall, IPForwading .... support into the kernel.
2.)Get the necessary proxy software, I used Squid. You might want to get
"Junkbuster" as well.
3.)Setup the config files and you're ready to go.
