It seems that you have not, so first set up a well working 192.168.0.* network (or 10.0.0.* if you prefer). Then put a second nic in the computer you would like to set up as a gateway. Make your cable modem work on your gateway, then install the package 'ipmasq' (if you have a 2.2 kernel), configure this computer as gateway on the other machines (route add default gw 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0) and you should be able to share your internet connection. That is the story in a nutshell. Look in the various howto's for more information. Greetz, Sebastiaan
