Reading (a lot of it) is first step.

AnandTech - FAQ. Basic Options for Internet Connection Sharing

AnandTech - FAQ. Hubs, routers, switches, DSL, LANs, WANs...?

Ignore the prices in the links above. The same or similar hardware can be found for 60%-90% less.

Then you buy a cable/DSL Router.

You plug every thing like this.

Then you configure the Network on each computer.

And finally you set the sharing.

Log to the following page.

Scroll down, in the middle (yellow hi-lited) you will find info, and links concerning the settings.
