Dan,
If you are trying to browse webpages on the internet which your debian
box is connected to, then you'll have to set up some sort of networking
to allow your windows box to do that, either ip masqerading, or
proxying.
If you just want to send email via your debian box, or view webpages
on it, and you can't do that, then you have another problem, and we'll
need more info.
Is your setup like this: (correct it & add IP addresses)
