Yeah, that's basically all you have to do hardware wise. However you are going to need internet sharing software on the PC. I used a package called Wingate a few years back with 2 computer connected to 1 other and I used it's modem as connection to the outside world. I'm sure there are plenty of other packages, maybe Windows has it built in nowadays? Anyone know?

Yep, but the "lead" you'll need is a (RJ-45) CAT-5 Ethernet CROSS-OVER cable.  Not a normal CAT-5 Ethernet.

Then config up Windows, and you're all set.

Windows 2000 and XP have "Internet connection sharing" built in.  That should be good enough.

Don't forget to checkout analogX proxy
very easy and it worked for me to connect my amiga to a win98 box.. and you didn't have to mess around with Windows Internet sharing :-)

A cheap hardware router/hub would be better.

If you have a spare PC (a 486 would do just fine) you could use FREESCO http://www.freesco.org/

And if you have an old PC and want a bit of security I can recommend SmoothWall.

Well, we'd need a bit more information.  What OS are you running on the PC?  (If it's 2000 or XP, this is a really simple matter, if not, it's a bit more complex.)  What exactly IS analogx?  (just a proxy or a full NAT handler?  I've not used it, myself.)  What are you trying to do with the Amiga?  Just use a proxy to browse the web, or do you want it to have a more complete connection?  Just asking "What do I do" is way too open ended.  There are a million ways to set the hardware/software up.  We need to know what you have, what you want, etc...
