You might consider Coyote Linux.  It will work for both Linux and 
Windows.  I have a small network that uses both, and it works with 
both of them.  It will also act as a router and DHCP server.  

It requires a separate box, but almost any door-stop box will do.  I 
am running it on a 486-133 with 16 Mb system RAM  and a 3.5 floppy 
(no hard disk; no display).  You could probably use significantly 
less RAM.
