Hi

The page you visited at ezlan.net is mainly geared toward the LAN part of
you Network.

 Your problem seems to be related to Sharing the internet.

 May be this can Help:

 Basic Options for Internet Connection Sharing -

Hubs, routers, switches, DSL, LANs, WANs...? -

(This page was written by me a while ago. Ignore the prices in the links
bellow. The same or similar hardware can be found for 60%-90% less.)

If you opt to use a Router, the whole thing should look like this:
