How do I set up a MAC to get internet access from my WIN XP ICS machine

[wjsulliv]

My girlfriend has a MAC (one of the cute tangerine iBook's), running OS 9.
I have a desktop and a laptop, both running Win XP Pro, set up on a network, sharing dialup access.
The desktop is set up as the host computer (ip = 192.168.0.1, subnet = 255.255.255.0).
The laptop is dynamically assigned an ip each time it is connected to the network (I.e. it doesn't have a static ip like 192.168.0.2 or anything like that)

I want to make it so my girlfriend can bring her Mac over and plug it my network and share the internet connection. That way she can use the OS and software she is used to using, rather than asking me every five minuets if I can save something or where IE or Netscape or AOL are...

I am not trying to do any file sharing at all. I only want to share the internet connection.

How do I do this? Practically networked sets up a static IP, is there a way to setup a dynamic one? I'm looking for a step-by-step process?

Just use the TCP/IP control panel on her Mac to tell it to get an IP address using DHCP. That's all there is to it.

Step by step:

Click on the Apple Menu (upper left-hand corner of desktop)
Choose Control Panels-->TCP/IP
click on the appropriate check boxes or drop-down list to set up DHCP for ethernet
