I have the same setup at home sharing a DSL line. My setup is like this:
one linux box as a server, one windows/linux box for my workstation and a
third linux box as a gateway.
the trick is to setup the gateway with either a proxy service, such as
squid, or use ipchains to masquerade the IP traffic.
You can probably use your existing linux box to forward her traffic rather
than setup another linux box ( a separate box is preferred for performance
and security reasons, however).
All of the HOWTOS are on www.linux.org, under the support link. the
IPCHAINS and FIREWALL HOWTOS were very useful for me.
