Your two nic firewall (fw) will have to be on for any pc to access the
internet.

Example layout:
192.168.1.1 pc1 node's gateway
192.168.1.10 pc1 node's ip
   |
   v
x pc1 printer ISP ip addy 81.103.155.29
x \ / |
x \ / v
x Switch/hub-----eth1_fw_eth0---cablemodem-----ISPgateway---Internet
x / ^ ^
x / | |
x pc2 192.168.1.1 81.103.155.1
   ^ lan gateway
   |
192.168.1.12 pc2 node's ip
192.168.1.1 pc2 node's gateway

Switch is better than a hub.
