Internet connections on windows machines



Im a long time linux user with barely any experience of windows at all 
(shocking i know). At home, my housemate has a adsl connection on a winxp 
machine that i would like to share to a variety of hosts (amiga, debian linux 
and some other version of windows which is possibly 98). On linux this is 
trivially easy to do using ip masquerading and is a set up i have used many 
times with much success. Does anyone know how to do this using winxp and even 
better if i can use the same great port forwarding that iptables provides so 
i can have an sshd daemon accessible from outside the network.

btw, the adsl connection is provided by bt, but for some reason windows has to 
"dial" it and provide a username/password (it is a business connection) so i 
dont think i can just drop a debian box in the way and use ipmasq from that.

Thanks

Tom
