Wizard? You don't need no steenking wizard ;)
If you have the linux box setup correctly, all you need is TCP/IP
installed on the windoze box (I assume you have assigned it a
private IP address; I use the class C range 192.168.0.x). In the
windoze TCP/IP Properties, set the Gateway address to the IP of
your linux machine, and the DNS server address to your ISP's DNS
servers. Make sure that TCP/IP is set as the default protocol
(it's also a good idea to remove NetBlooie and IPX/SPX). Specify
your local hostnames and IP numbers in the /etc/hosts and
c:\windows\hosts (you don't need to use FQDNs, just short names)
and put your ISPs info in /etc/resolv.conf on the linux box. Put
your local stuff in /etc/hosts.allow and deny all but local in
hosts.deny. You don't need a book either, there's plenty of info
in the NAG and Net-3 HOWTO.
You should be good to go.
If it's not working, start with the basics and work your way up.
Turn off diald and establish your connection manually (telnet to
your linux box, etc) and then try surfing. If it's really not
working, start by pinging back and forth, and work your way back up.
Let us know how it goes.
