Does anybody know of a way to use a windows box as a gateway so it will look like this:


internet
------------| winbox |-------| switch |-------| linbox |


The reason that i need to do this is that my windows box has a modem in it (i don't have broadband :'() and it can get online, it's a winmodem which sucks cause it doesn't work with linux. If it works i would just put the windows box online and leave it online. The thought just occured to me however to skip the switch and just use a crossover cable, would that work perhaps? any help would be kick ass! Thanks. Oh btw the winbox and linbox both have 10/100 ethernet cards in them.
