Yes you can do it.  Its acually ver y simple.  You will need to set up
Internet Connection Sharing on the computer with the gateway to the
internet.  ICS sets up a "small DHCP" server on the host computer;
therefore, allowing 5 computers (if the host is win98, or ME) to connect to
the internet through it.  To install ICS, go into Add/Remove
Programs>Windows setup and simply put a check into Internet Connection
Sharing. You can then go to Start>Programs>Accessories>Internet Tools and
run the wizard.

There are other ways of doing this, but this to me is the simplest, and it
works quite well.

In answer to your other question, yes.  You will be able to access the
computer through Network Neihborhood.  You can test its functionality by
simpley searching for the computers name in Find>computers.
