I've moved this post from Web Hosting (which has nothing to do with your problem) to General Discussion. I've also adjusted your title to better describe your issue/subject. Please be aware we have rules governing these types of things.

Should we assume you are using Windows (XP)? http://www.google.com/search?q=windows+internet+sharing

I don't have enough information about your computers/network and all the rest and I'm not an expert in these things either, but I believe that it is possible. I also believe a router is what you need, but if you don't want to buy a router then try googling for "sygate internet sharing".

Get a router.

The cheap software / ICS / many NIC approach isn't worth the headache. Trust me on that.

The only router I've ever loved is the Linksys WRT54GL (it's that EXACT model... not the G or the GS or anything else). It runs open source firmware based on Linux and is completely solid 24/7/365. Firmware and support can be found at http://wrtrouters.com
