Ofcource you can , just you need to know how to configure the OS of that computer so share its internet connection and you will have internet ,too. Tell us what the OS is and we will tell you how you can do that.If it is linux you have to enable ip_forwarding and configure the masq. or to make SNAT. If Windows you need to enable internet connection sharing.

In Windows you can also use proxy server named "Wingate Proxy Server", "WinProxy" etc for internet connection sharing. Make sure that in that case disable "Internet Connection Sharing" option.
The following commands should enable you to access internet through that computer:
-----
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forw
------
Where eth1 is the interface which connects to the internet. You may add the above commands to any initialization scripts so that reboots won't be a problem. You may also want to run a DNS server on that computer or configure all systems to query your ISP's DNS servers.

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE

Hi ,
from here download your proxy server http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.5/ , then read this http://squid.visolve.com/squid/sqguide.htm and step by step you will configure your proxy server. Then make the second lan card with private ip address and enable the ip_forwarding and with iptables make you SNAT iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s your_private_Ip/255.255.25

Hello,
If you have internet on eth0, and you have attached PC on eth1 -
route add default gw IP_eth0 // where IP_eth0 is IP on interface eth0 (your real inet IP)
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s your_target_pc_ip -j MASQUERADE
your_target_pc_ip is IP on this PC you want internet.
Good Luck!
