need network help: proxy related question

ok heres the situation. my cousin has aol highspeed broadband (i know, i know, his dad won't get anything else). he wants to hook up another computer and his playstation 2 up to the network too. i called up aol and asked them and i looked into it, and i guess its an extra $10 a month for each addition computer, and $5 a month for the online ps2/xbox thing (for his ps2). on top of all that, he needs to buy a "special" router that can do all this.

back in the day i setup a proxy (i think thats what you would call it) where the internet came into my computer, which had an additional nic that went to a hub, which went to other comps etc. on the server computer i ran a program that allowed me to share my internet connnection to other comps on my network....i dont remember what that program was though because my brother mainly set it up and it was about 3 years ago.

this is what im trying to do w/ him, but we cant find a program that does it (either that or we dont know what were doing...most likely choice b).

any suggestions on programs, setups, etc?

bumps?
 
I think the program you're looking for is called "winproxy" Basically, its like the windows ICS (Internet Connections Sharing).
