Hi - Yes you can (short answer) - Press START button and go to CONNECT TO
and click it, alternatively, if you see another submenu apear, click on SHOW
ALL CONNECTIONS. Right click on your broadband connection and go down to
PROPERTIES. Click ADVANCED then select the ALLOW OTHER NETWORK USERS TO
CONNECT THROUGH THIS COMUTER'S INTERNET CONNECTION.

The host computer should have the firewall running but is not necessary for
the other computers in the network to have a firewall installed. In fact, if
you try and install firewalls on the other computers within your network,
you will not be able to access files and folders on your own network from
the host computer.
