    would be easy with 2 *nix machines: the one
    with the net connection uses "netfilter" or
    "iptables" facilities, to pass on packets
    originating from the other machine--which in
    turn, adds an entry to its routing table

    "route add -net 0.0.0.0 gw <ip.addr.of.other.machine>"

    but since the net-connected machine is not
    running *nix, you really need to ask the Windows
    gurus how they achive this end--if they do.
