Ok, you will need for:
* Firewall and router task, iptables.
* Gnome1.4 task, gnome. (hehe;))
* Sharing files, samba
The best way to get all of them working is using emerge.
You will have to recompile your kernel to get Iptables support, SMB and support for your realtec cards.
IMHO use FTP instead of SMB (protfpd server woud be fine)
Just my two cents

Why do you want to load Gnome onto a firewall? That's generally considered a Bad Idea, or Bad Practice at the least. Get iptables, that'll firewall you good.

Use Samba. There's no point in running FTP when Samba would work better overall (easy integration with Windows). Samba's not all that hard to set up, and if it's just an internal network thing, you ought to be very happpy with it.

Linux networking is exactly the same as other networking; the concepts are the same, but you have different tools. |

HOWTO - Make your Internet Connection Sharing to work
From ISP to GENTOO - (eth0:DHCP or STATIC IP)
From GENTOO to WINDOWS - (eth1:192.168.0.1)
1.
insmod your.nic.module (i.e. "insmod 3c59x") for both nics if differ
2.
if your ISP uses DHCP, "dhcpcd eth0"
if static, "ifconfig eth0 your.static.ip netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway your.isp.gateway"
Now is time to configure the connection sharing
this is just for kenels greater than 2.4.x with iptables
1.
insmod iptables_nat
2.
echo 1 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
3.
iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
(if your linux uses eth0 to connect your isp)
4.
In the Windows Machine:
192.168.0.1 in the gateway
numbers from your /etc/resolv.conf in DNS server |
