You would need to setup a gateway. Check out this links or do a google for "linux gateway" to serve your needs.

Have a look at Guidedog. It's available in Synaptic & I think it's what you're after for configuring iptables.

I think , i prefer manual firewall, with set masq. a couple allow and deny, also ip forwarding. But i will try your suggestion , thanks.
