network bridging

hmm im not 100% sure bridging is the correct term for what i want to do, but ill desribe. I have a 10 machine coax lan set up, and a 5 port hub with no coax connections. i will have 3 more machines connected to each other via the 5 port hub, and i can put a 2nd nic into my win2k machine which is cat5 based.

I have a 10 machine coax lan set up, and a 5 port hub with no coax connections. i will have 3 more machines connected to each other via the 5 port hub, and i can put a 2nd nic into my win2k machine which is cat5 based. What id like to be able to do, is allow the 2 networks to talk to each other. Is there a simple way that win2k can do this? or do i need extra software to accomplish it? iv been told linux can do it, but i dont really feel like setting up an extra machine just to link the 2 networks, if my win2k machine can do it, then that will be great. any ideas anyone?
