You can do this two ways.
Firstly, the easy way: If you have enough IP addresses, you assign one IP
address to your SLIP/PPP/whatever connection, and one IP address each to the
LAN cards on each of your PCs. You then merely need to tell the PC with the
LAN card and SLIP/PPP/whatever connection to perform IP routing. I believe
that there is a checkbox for this on one of the TCP/IP configuration notebook
pages.
Secondly, the harder way: If you don't have enough IP addresses, or your ISP
uses dynamic IP assignment, you need to set up an internal TCP/IP LAN between
your PCs, using (preferably reserved) internal IP addresses, and then
configure the PC with the SLIP/PPP connection to use IP masquerading using a
utility such as InJoy in order to hide the IP addresses of the other PC from
the outside world.
