Set one up on your router.
Either the one built into your hardware router or configure your linux router as a firewall.
Google iptables for more

If you have an old PC around ( 386 + ) you can use Coyote Linux that runs on a floppy and uses ipchains. It does need specific network cards though. It's easy and can be setup to block everything and is very configureable. I have a copy of my ipchains, if you decide to go that route. you can read about it and www.coyotelinux.com (http://www.coyotelinux.com)

You say i have to buy a router so i can do that with my computers?


One prob i don't understand is why is all my computer on eth0, i thought my 2 pc have to be eth1?

Either purchase a separate hardware router which have builtin firewalls or use one of your existing pc's for routing/firewall. You will of course need 2 ethernet cards for the pc based router.
