Yes.  My Linux box serves the other machine I have here.  (It used to
serve a win95 machine, but they person who owned the machine got a little
bit silly and kept turning off the network settings which I had setup for
it).

Well, it works for me.  If your main problem is that the other machine
does not seem to be able to receive packets from the internet (i.e. it's a
linux box or some such beastie), try setting up ip-forwarding.  I
installed dotfile-ipfwadm and after I'd setup my system, boy did things
run great.  I had a little problem originally with everything not being
setup 100%, i.e. from the secondary machine (the one behind the linux box)
I was able to request web pages, or ftp sites, but I couldn't receive
them.
