its known as "IP Masquerade" in Linux, and its controlled primarily
with
iptables(8)

you should read up on iptables and firewall rules to understand how it 
all works

the ip masquerade HOWTO lives here 
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/

master source of documetation of all this is here ->

Buy a small router/modem, ask your ISP for suggestions.
This is cheap (<100$), no need to keep your computer always turned on,
very easy to configure
if you nead more features (port forwarding for skype, games, p2p, ....),
have some builtint feature (dhcp, DNS proxy). Also think about wireless ......
This is probably more secure, not because centos/linux is not,
but because you dont know what you are doing.

Of course this is less fun
