hi well, there is, welcome to lq. yes you can route the connection. enable ics on the windows machine, set the lan ip of the windows machine as your default gateway on the linux machine, edit your /etc/resolv.conf on the linux machine to point to this ip as well,

nameserver ip of gateway

finally, whatever firewall your running will have to allow the connection. hope that helps.
good luck.
