Alternatively, you could use a proxy server like WinProxy www.winproxy.cz 
which you can install on your windoze box and which is very good. The 
downloadable "demo" version is actually fully useable but only supports two 
simultaneous users (which I think is enough for your purposes). If there 
are reasons why you want to keep the modem on your windoze box this might 
be a good solution. We use the unlimited version of this s/w at work here 
and I could offer advice on setting it up (if I can do it it must be pretty 
easy).
It provides a firewall too.

Sorry to appear to be plugging windoze s/w but this might be the easiest 
(and cheapest) solution.
