You first get the FreeBSD machine connected to the Internet so it works. Then you get the Windows machine so it can communicate internally with the FreeBSD machine. You should be able to ftp from the Windows machine to the FreeBSD machine, telnet to it (if telnet is enabled) and ping one from the other. Then you enable ipfw on the FreeBSD machine (the loadable kernel module, ipfw, loads with "deny all" so you have to adjust the rules) and set up your ipfw firewall with appropriate entires in rc.conf. (Reboot to get it to take effect.) (Be sure to enable gateway.) You set the default route of the Windows machine to be the internal address of the FreeBSD machine. You run natd -n <external interface> on the FreeBSD machine. The default route on the FreeBSD machine should be your ISP. See man natd--it gives all the info. Note you don't have to compile ipfw into your kernel as you can load the module.
