They're are several ways to do this, is it just going to be a NAT router
for your cable, or do you want to serve files/printers from it. Do you
want to host mail. If not you can do setup a small linux dist. on a floppy
(or cd) and boot it when the PC boots. Can be read only. If you want to
sever stuff then you will need to do a full install. If you do a full
install you can use the normal iptables built into the kernel, redhat 8
has some tools to configure this. I've never used them, always wrote the
rules by hand.

For only routing:

I'm waiting for bob meyer to pipe up on this one.. :)
