hey,
the accessing the internet through the linux box is quite easy to
set up. all you'll need, pretty much, is a nic card in each box and
a hub to plug them all into - oh and the ipfwadm package if you don't
have it already. here are some good links to help get you started:

this one's good once you get past just masquerading:

outside of simple connectivity, netatalk is good for macs and similarly
you can use samba to fileshare to your M$ machines. alternately you
could just use nfs and get nfs clients to both of them - depending
on what you need.
good luck!
