There are several methods... If you want to setup your linux box as router it is necessary to edit iptables file located commonly in /etc/init.d. Also, add or edit in /etc/sysctl.conf the following line to this:
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

Now, if you want to configure your linux box to connect a router, you have to go to System Tools > Network Device Control or Internet Configuration.
