Oh dear. Read this. How_To_Ask_a_Question

In my experience, your modem or router shares the internet, and things can connect to that. Why not get windows to do that? Your debian pc is not getting the internet from nowhere, is it?

Can you explain exactly what you mean please?
Have you locked your wifi router to particular mac addresses maybe?
or
Are you accessing the internet via one particular machine?

Please explain how you 'shared the internet! Then we can help you.

I think the poster is trying ICS -Internet connection Sharing and a quick ddg found this:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/In...nectionSharing
or from a Windows machine this:https://www.wikihow.com/Share-an-Internet-Connection
