Sure, you can either use ICS on your windows comp or get a router/switch like the Linksys 4-port model and share it that way.

Okay, once you set up your ip address on the windows pc for sharing all you do on the Mac is:

Open up your TCP/IP control panel on the Mac and see the Ip address from the windows PC (Ip connected to the Mac, not the one connected to the dsl modem) and set that as the gateway. put the same dns info in and you should be good to go.

Sorry if this is confusing, I'm really not doing well today with this whole act of war
