Only the computer that is physically attached to the Internet needs a valid IP address.
Computer 1 - with 2 network cards. Card 1 - with valid IP address Card 2 - with internal IP address
Computer 2 - with 1 network card and an internal IP address with it's gateway address being the address of Card 2 from Computer 1. Set up Internet connection to connect over LAN. Traffic goes from Computer 2 to Card 2 on Computer 1 which passes it to Card 1 and out to the Internet.
