I did this recently at an internet cafe (of sorts).

I connected a redhat 7.2 box to the hub, it took all the info via dhcp
and was surfing immediately.

Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) appears to run a DHCP
server, and away you go.

It was absurdly simple.

The code is pretty generic, and I assume it is the same in mandrake
(being redhat based distro).
