No, you don't need to do nothing more, just ensure the gateway of the
Debian machine is set to the IP of the windows ethernet adapter (as
someone pointed out in the thread, when you enable ICS, Windows uses
192.168.0.1 for the ethernet adapter so you have to adjust the computers
of the network accordingly and also disable any DHCP facility).
However, on the Windows side you can adjust your dial-up parameters to
auto-reconnect after "x" secons if it goes offline as most ISP tend to
disconnect the users after a period of idle activity.
I've recently tested this scenario with an UMTS connection (hosted by a
windows notebook) and worked with no problems.
