I need help with sharing my airport connection to a computer hooked up via Ethernet.

This is kind of hard to explain, but here it goes.
I am trying to share my internet connection from my powerbook to my windows desktop PC. I currently receive my internet connection via airport(wirelessly), and have my pc and powerbook connected via a Ethernet cable. I turned on the sharing airport connection to Ethernet, but have had no luck.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

If they're connected directly with one ethernet cable, doesn't it have to be a crossover cable? (Wired differently)

Is the PC set up to get an IP addr via DHCP?

not on newer powerbooks--they have an autosensing ethernet port that eliminates the need for a crossover cable.

Just make sure the windows PC (what windows version? XP, 2k, 98?) is set up to obtain an ip address automatically and dhcp.
