Why use a third party program ?
I think there is a window build in program call "ICS" "Internet Connection Sharing"

After adding ICS, Windows would prompt you for some details. The rest is easily explained by windows.

just point your other machines gateway ip to the ip of the machine with ICS installed and running..

Have fun ...

another option is to install a hardware solution. A broadband dsl/cable router will also provide NAT (network address translation) and firewall protection as well as share your internet connectivity.
