Yup.  Here's the script I use:

#!/bin/sh
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
ipchains -P forward DENY
ipchains -A forward -s 10.0.0.0/8 -j MASQ

This sets my net-connected Linux box (10.0.0.x) up to do forwarding to
LAN-connected windows clients.  On the Windows box you should edit the
network settings so that your Linux box is the default gateway. 
Configure the Windows DNS servers straight out of /etc/resolv.conf and
you're in business.
