Seems to me that what you are looking for is not DHCP but NAT.

1) Configure your second eth card to 192.168.0.1.

2) Activate nat on your gnu/linux box

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
(on a 2.4 kernel)
eth0 is my external(cable modem) interface, for you it could be pppx for
a modem.

3)On the MS machine use a 192.168.0.xx IP and define 192.168.0.1 as your
gateway. You are set.

On a 2.2 kernel it is similar and even easier: install the ipmasq
package,
