Network Help Needed

I've decided to change my network. This time I think for the better. The machine has always been a Windows Machine that was sharing files, folders and printers over a Workgroup. It was also sharing the Internet connection over the network.

I'm switching this machine over to Kubuntu 7.04 today. I want it to be able to carry out the following tasks:

Sharing the Internet Connection between other computers, the Internet connection is a USB DSL Modem so it's ppp0.
Sharing various different folders and files on an additional hard disk, which I will leave formatted as NTFS until I get a new one some time next week.
Sharing my Printer, Lexmark z600 which was set up using a guide on this forum.
All of this will be shared through etherent, eth0. This will be going to another machine using crossover cable.

These are the main steps that I need to get correct in order for this network to work. I honestly do not have a clue how to do this on Kubuntu.

Research "internet connection sharing" on the Internet. You'll have to set and mess with gateways, IPs, and the router (I think).

Google: "internet connection sharing" "ubuntu"

There are already a lot of threads about this topic.

I've already researched upon some of these. Most of them are about sharing Windows Shares or connecting to a Windows Network. If I did have any luck finding them they are normally sharing Internet connections from a router that is plugged in through Ethernet eth(x).

I can see the general idea of how to do this from some of the guides, but I'm not sure it will work on an ADSL Modem (pp0, Speedtouch 330 REV4). Especially since my IP Address always changes on reconnect.
