That will allow the windows computer to act as a gateway. Having two ips on one interface (which windows doesn't allow) isn't an issue because your wireless adapter will have a different IP than the ethernet adapter with the crossover cable. Just run the internet connection sharing wizard or whatever, and I think you'll be all set. Anyway, unless you decide to make the Linux computer connect to the wireless adapter and have it share with the router (in which I'd suggest setting up masquerading using a Linux program called Firestarter), this is a Windows issue. because your Windows computer will have to share the internet connection. Oh, btw, you'll probably want to set up static IPs on the two sides of the cross-over cable in the 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.254 range so that they see each other. The Windows computer won't have a DHCP server, so you'll have to go to static IPs.
