i have sify broadband connection. i can share it using proxy in win PC. now i've shifted to Ubuntu 6.06. i can browse internet in ubuntu. now how do i share the connection among other Win PC. Here is the Scenario:

My sify cable is connected to a Hub. my Linux box and other Win PCs are connected to the Hub. I'm using sify's provided static IP ( 10.18.106.18 ) in my Linux box to browse. other Win Pcs are having 10.18.106.XXX IPs.
