Indeed what you want to do is masquerade the hosts connected via the hub to
your router. You might want to go see this
<http://linux-firewall-tools.com/linux/firewall/index.html> as it should
get you started, help you build good firewall rules (which you'll
definitively need). As for running out of the box, I *think* it works, but
I'm not sure, as I always compile my own kernel. The options needed are
also described in the ipmasq HOWTO, which you should read as well.
good luck
