You need to set up connection sharing in the sever machine.
You can find howto on the net.

Before we can help you about sharing your connection, we must know what king of broadband connection do you have in your home, ADSL, Cable, other?
Does your debian server has more than one network adapter? It needs at least 2 cards. Have you checked it?
What does your Debian Server do in your network at the moment? Only sharing the internet? Samba (sharing files)?
Is The Debian Server accessing the internet successfully right now?
Do you already have a Iptables script to share the internet but it's not working or do you have to create one?

On linux You just need to run this command to act ur linux as router. Frist configure your both network interface. then run this command from terminal.

#echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
#/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o -eth0 -J MASQUERADE
#/sbin/iptables save
#/sbin/chkconfig iptables on

here I guess eth0 is ur Internet interface. If not then change it ti eth1
