The easiest way is to set up your Win machine to use Client for Microsot
Network as its primary proto and set up your Linux box to use DHCP.
Forget about "Internet Connection Sharing" in either Win or Linux.
I have my systems running in this manner and have no problems connecting on
any of my 4 machines using any Linux distro.
