How to connect to internet through another computer?

I have an eMachines ET1831-05 Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Computer, It connect to the internet via a wireless card i installed, meaning its ethernet port is open. I have a linux ubuntu 10.(something) computer that i want to connect to the internet but do not have a wireless card to. It it possible to run an ethernet cable from the eMachines to the Linux to connect the linux to the internet?

                    Additional Details

Im in a collage dorm that only offers wireless.
