It should just be a matter of turning on IP Masquerading support in
Linux, and telling the Windows machine that the Linux machine is the
gateway.
I believe you can turn on IP Masqing with this command:
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forwarding
You should be able to set Windows' gateway in the Network control panel
applet.
Good luck!
