linux internet connection sharing

[133tcamel]

Hi,
I've got two computers one running windows 98 and the other running Linux 2.2.14-12 (Red Hat 6.2)..

Now my USB modem only has drivers for Windows so I have to run it on windows machine.. but now I want to share this connection with my linux machine too.. After searching the internet most of the documents are more like how to connect a windows client to a linux server.. but I want it the other way round.. maybe using microsoft's ICS so that my internet runs primarily on windows and i can share it with linux

The two machines are already connectioned and communicating using ethernet cards (linux one is 192.168.0.1 and windows is 192.18.0.2) with a coaxial wire.

Any help/URL will be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance, ---
cheers!

I have used the proxy program from analogx.com to share internet connections. configure the browser to use a proxy and point it to the machine running the proxy program. This might work to share with linux machine, but, it looks like you already have fixed the problem.
