Not sure that I fully understand what you are trying to do, but have a look
at lansuite (http://www.software602.com/products/ls/). It is a web server,
proxy server, firewall with NAT plus a few extras all in one. Seems that
loading this on your machine B might be what you're after. It's free for up
to five users (although some features are crippled).
