I guess you can. I use suse 9.1 pro for another winxp and its ok.
You can install two eth cards on the machine and have suse set it eth0 (internet) and eth1 (to the hub/switch).
On the eth0 card you set it to use whatever connection your isp tells you to use (dhcp, pppoe), and on the eth1 you set it static 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0.
On the win machines, you set them to ips: 192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0 and 192.168.0.3/255.255.255.0. Their gateway is 192.168.0.1.
After all that, you can enable ip forward in suse's yast2, and you're set.
You have to enable ip forward.
