Any Linux system and any Windows 2000 or later system can do what you need.
I think Win98SE can do it too, but I wouldn't put an important service like
this on a Win98 box.


The Windows service is called Internet Connection Sharing, and in Linux
you'd use  iptables or ipchains to implement NAT and firewalling for the
same effect.


I'd recommend a standalone Linux box with a minimal installation for this.
If you using a 2.4 kernel, search the web for info on implementing NAT with
iptables.
