Not a good way to do it. The place for a firewall is before the machines. I built a pentium 133 with two interfaces as a firewall, and that works great. Connect the external interface to the hub, use dhcp to get the IP, and use non-routable IPs for the internal network. Connect a hub or switch to the internal interface of the firewall and connect all the othe machines to that hub. You can use PMfirewall to make configuration very easy.
