If both systems are connected through the switch, then both systems should be  
able to simultaneously access the net. That is what a switch is for! You need  
not make the packets pass from one system to the other. Maybe your DNS is not  
properly configured. Can you ping remote IP addresses from both systems?  
'ping' gives you the sequence of numbers that make the IP address.

As far as I understand you (it is not that clear), the Trisquel system has  
two network interfaces. An Ethernet interface and a Wifi interface I guess  
(all laptops and some desktops have that). You can connect the Trisquel  
system with the Ethernet cable and then the other system (have you tried  
Parabola GNU/Linux, which is based on arch and 100% free?) connects through  
Wifi. To do that, the Trisquel system must act as an access point. There is a  
button for that at the bottom of the "Network" window (launched from the  
"System settings"). I used to do that some versions ago and the package  
"dnsmasq" had first to be installed (from the "Synaptic package manager" for  
instance).
