Good, you're on the right track.
Quick and dirty:
1. Assign IP addresses to the FreeBSD box and the Windows box.
Be sure to use non-routable addresses:
10.X.X.X, 192.168.X.X, 172.16.X.X
2. Assuming that you're connecting via a modem and PPP the easiest
way to accomplish this is to run 'ppp' with the '-alias' switch.
3. Tell the Windows box that the FreeBSD box is the gateway and
you're all set.
You should check out the FreeBSD diary at http://www.freebsddiary.com/
for a more detailed explanation and some real world examples.
If you're using a cable modem or *DSL you'll find useful information
at FreeBSD diary.
Good luck...
