IP NAT with DHCP

Hello,
I am trying to get my 2 computers to use NAT which are connected to a LAN Hub which is connected to a cisco 2621
router. The router had dual fastethernet ports 0/0 and 0/1
I set my port 0/0 to recieve DHCP from my cable modem. What Are some specific commands to get these 2 computers to the internet? I went to the cisco site, but it did not help. I read about how to get a bunch of local address to use one global address, but then in the config they ask you for a list of global addresses, which doesn't make sense because the whole topic is about using one global address, so I dont know why in their config sample it asks for a list of global addresses. I dont have an access list set on the router either. Does it matter if I have an access list or not? Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Can you post your config? We'll start with what you have and add what you need...

router>enable
router#sho config

Ok, We seem to be miscommunicating. I have DHCP from my cable modem to faste0/0. I recieve an IP address from my ISP. Now I have 2 PC's that I would like to use for this 1 IP address I recieve from my ISP. I do not want my router to act as a DHCP server. I just want to assign my PC's a local private ip address such as 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 and the gateway as 192.168.1.1 which is faste0/1 on the router. Now I have it now as:

Faste0/0
IP dhcp
ip nat outside
(this port is directly connected to cable modem)

Faste0/1
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside
(this port is dircetly connected to a hub)

PC 1
192.168.1.2
(directly connect to Hub)
Cannot ping gateway 192.168.1.1 (request timed out)

PC 2
192.168.1.3
(directly connected to Hub)
Cannot ping gateway 192.168.1.1 (request timed out)

What happens if you do a "show interface fastethernet 0/1"?  Does it show the interface as being up?  

We're not miscommunicating at all...
You still need all the configurations I provided to setup your NAT and routing...

If you use this command:

router> show ip interface brief

Does any interface show up as "administratively down"?
Do you get an IP address for fast 0/0?

If so,
router(config)#interface fast 0/0
router(config-if)# no shut
router(config-if)#interface fast 0/1
router(config-if)# no shut

Now with "sho ip interface brief" you should see Status up/protocol up

Now you should be able to ping the workstations from the router...

How come I cannot ping anything when I telnet to the router?

I have an fxs card in it and I want to place a call via IP, but I cannot ping my gateway from the router. I can ping it from my PC though.

Yes,  How can I implement that access-list to prevent myself from being hacked?
