If I followed all of that correctly, the best way is using an ethernet 
switch with a NIC in each computer.  Alternately, you could skip the 
switch and use a crossover cable if there are no other computers 
involved.  You would then setup iptables/NAT on computer A to forward 
the traffic from B to the internet.  There are many examples and 
tutorials on the web to help you along.
