    Sygate Home/Office network allows this kind of sharing.

    Which version of windows - they are VERY different when it comes to IP Forwarding eg: NT workstation has a helpful button ,Win98/2k/xp require reg hacks.

    You can also get free DHCP server for windows.

    Analog X Proxy, does what it says on the tin.

    Dead simple to use, is freeware and will do exactly what you are looking for.

    Freeware DHCP server for windows http://ruttkamp.gmxhome.de/dhcpsrv/dhcpsrv.htm

    Burried in that mess are various tips
    inc..
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP
    "EnableRouting=1" - this will allow Win98 to act as a router - not sure if the same setting is used in 2k or Xp
    but typing ipconfig/all will show you if IP routing is enabled

    NOTE: you can use the wNTipcfg.exe utility from microsofts site to check this (it's like winipcfg)

    There's also Winroute , which I settled on after trying ICS, AnalogX, Wingate, and finding them all lacking. It's still only adequate - Windoze is just bad for routing - but it does the job.

    If your "connection to sat" could be coaxed onto Linux, you would have a lot more possibilities.
