Accessing through proxy

I have 2 IP addresses through @Home cable and want to set up one computer as a proxy server, and leave the other computer "directly" connected to the cable modem. Would I be able to access a computer BEHIND the proxy from the computer directly connected? I kind of doubt I could with TCP/IP since there wouldn't be an IP address that I could use, so how about with NetBEUI? Would I be able to browse the computer somehow?
 
Yep, but kinda depends on OS.

In NT or 2000 you've got the possibility (when you have 2 nic's) to enable ip-routing. To enable this you must have two nic's, one is your cablemodem the other one is your 'network' nic. When this is enabled, the pc is going to act as a router. In the other computer you set the ip-adress of the router as the default gateway. When you want to connect to a pc behind the router the pc first tries it on its own subnet, if this fails it sends the request to its default gateway. This gateway (the router) sends the connection data to the computer on the pc you want to connect to. Be sure to set a default gateway on the other computer as wel.
