You'll need to enable Internet connection sharing on the Windows machine and then configure the Linux box so that the internal interface of the Windows machine is its default gateway. Assuming the internal IP of the Windows box is 10.0.0.1 and you wanted to assign the Linux box IP 10.0.0.2 the commands would be:

ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.2 up
route add default gw 10.0.0.1

and you should be set. You could put those commands into your rc.local file so they get executed at every boot, or consult your distro's documentation for the correct networking startup script to modify.
