It depends on how you want to accomplish this and what variant you're using. A lot of Linux distros come with GUIs or wizards that will allow you to configure routing and NAT easily. For example, RedHat and Mandrake have linuxconf. This would be the easiest way to accomplish this, but not the best way to learn about Linux's interworkings. Another way to do this is from the command line which is more difficult, but will help you to learn more about the OS.
