If I am not too wrong (I once was), your windows comes with Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). You need to set up your other box(es) (i.e. linux) as a DHCP client. The windows box will have 192.168.0.1 as its IP address on the Ethernet interface.
A proxy is also a splendid idea, but it takes a little more effort and money.
