what do you mean by 'global IP address' ? are you on a LAN behind some
sort of firewall/gateway, or are these systems directly connected to the
public internet ?
To do what you describe, you'll need to configure the 2nd port on the
primary system to be a private IP like 192.168.0.1, and implement IP
Masquerade via iptables. You'll also want to configure a DHCP server on
this second port so any clients connected to it will be offered IP's in
that subnet. This will make that primary system act like a SOHO
'router' (I use quotes, because that sort of router is really a internet
gateway appliance)
note, btw, 'occasionally running windows' will be a huge pain. If
occasional means a few times a month, nearly every time you boot up
Windows, you'll be installing windows updates and rebooting. and flash
and java and acrobat and all the rest of it.....
