I think wingate is the easiest way to setup a win computer as a gateway. You
can take advantage of the included SOCKS server since it is very easy to run
most apps using socks quite transparently on linux (with the runsocks script).
I think they also include modified dll to allow win machines to connect to it.

Be advised that this is very insecure, inefficient and more difficult to set
up (the clients) than a linux gateway. For serious purposes you will probably
want to use a proxy server (eg firedoor) but this is less straightforward to
set up.

As usual in the M$ world, none of these softwares are free.
