Easy !
Just install linux on your PC w/ 2 ethernet boards and setup IP Masquerading

http://sunsite.unc.edu/mdw/HOWTO/mini/IP-Masquerade

You could also buy a cisco with PAT but the linux solution is the cheapest.

PS : I've also heard of Port Adress Translation (aka IP Masqueradig) on windoze
95 but I would'nt use a so shitty OS as a gateway for my whole network.

Easy, just install Windows 95 version of TCP/IP on all the machines in
your LAN, get a TCP/IP network happening, then install WINGATE on the
machine that's connected to the internet. Simple.
Wingate can be tried out at http:\\www.deerfield.com - they have
detailed instructions.

   You have three choices.  Make your ISP give you an address block...  Get
a software Proxy.  Get a hadrware NAT.  All three will require you to run
IP on your lan...  You best option might be Bay networks "Instant
Internet." http://www.baynetworks.com  It does NAT and full routing... 
Your cheapest would be true routing with real addresses...  Wingate would
be somewhere in the middle. :-)

For information on how to do this, see:

NAT32 has been designed for just what you have in mind.
