Not understanding your exact situation ATM, what you are trying to do is
possible, even in a Windows environment.  I don't have Direct Cable Connection
installed on this PC, and I haven't done this in a number of years; 
but IIRC, you can use DCC to establish a SLIP (serial line IP) connection
that allows you to use the other PC's IP resources.  I'm sure there are a 
dozen other things that need to be configured in Windows land to make it 
work, but that should be the core of what you're looking for.
