In the linux world at least, it is called IP Masquerade.
You have a local network where you can have any adress you want on your
computers, though it is recommended, and standard, to use either 192.168.x.y or
10.x.y.z or one more, that I have forgotten now :) 192.168.x.y is for C-nets,
and 10.x.y.z is for a A-net, but that doesn't stop you from useing only a C-net
under 10.x.y.z (for example 10.0.0.x), which I prefer, because it is easy to
write :)
Anyway, you have this local network, and then you let your linuxbox be the
default gateway for all comps on the local net, and compile linux with
IP-masq-support, and set it up with ipchains (2.2 kernel) or ipfwadm (2.0
kernel)
There are HOWTO's on it.
This is totally transparent to all computers on the local net.
You could probably mess around with some wingate or something, but that I don't
know anything about, and as I have heard you have to mess with proxys and junk
like that then.
You could also buy a router that does the same job.
