S'all about Samba

He's right:
Samba is the linux package that'll allow you to share files and printers over the network.
However, if you're looking for firewall capabilities you should look at IPtables.
For internet connection sharing it'll depend on which computer the actual connection is being shared. If on windows: ICS = Internet Connection Sharing, if on linux: See IPtables for NAT (Network Address Translation).
On the latter, I could post a sample config that works for me, but do a search first, then start a new thread, if you're having problems
GENERAL TIP: start a new thread discussing specific problems you encounter. This thread is (I assume?) for general advice with regards to the points listed in the original post.
