Just get a router. Search for good prices at:
http://www.google.com
(like you'd search anywhere else...sheesh!)
It depends on what you call easy... :)
anyway: two methods are common:
1) use a software router/firewall prog on a box which acts a as router/gate to the internet.
a simple Linux box will do all the work, look at
www.BBIagent.com for an example and more info
2) use a hardware router/firewall to share your connection (easiest way) good routers are available by Linksys.
the Dlink products are a good choice.
