If I chroot to the other computer, can I use its internet connection?

We have a laptop with Windows and a PCMCIA wireless ethernet card with 
Windows drivers.  Is there some way to connect to the neighbor's broadband 
service via the Windows laptop and then network with a linux computer and 
use a linux browser on the internet?  I suppose I could pay money for a 
PCI wireless card.

Do we have an sshd?  Have you tried it with BL?

I checked again.  They don't insert on my PIII's - 600 and 1400MHz.
The big kernel worked.  Could someone else with a PIII check? 
http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/2.2.26/*.o are the three modules.

3c59x inserted fine.  rpc.portmap etc. work.
