want 2 use my box as a proxy

[catadoxas]

well here's what I'm trying:

box number 1 runs gentoo
box number 2 runs gentoo with a vm-windows xp on it (on wich I installed mssql)

I didn't want windows 2 connect to the internet (guess why...) so box 2 is connected 2 the windows machine over a private network
and everything runs over linux-odbc

somethimes I need a comand line connection that alows me to
connect to my vmmachine from box 1 and use the tools that are installed on it
I can only do this over box2. how can I just forward everything I do over my second box directly 2 the vm-machine?
thus use it as a "proxy"
can I use ssh? and if so, how?

youd help me a lot:)
