    If you can put 2 NICs in one of them, you can make it a gateway for the other using IP masquerading. Here's a pretty good FAQ on it:

    Ipv4 forwardind

    Just enable ip forwarding and configure the correct default gateway to your client system.

    ipforwarding aka masquerading
    also see NAT and IPTABLES for major lan security.

    See you.

    Whatever the IP address of your internet-connected machine is on the LAN.
