It is more desirable to have Linux responsible for sharing the 
connection. I'm not sure how Windows XP shares it's connection, but I'm 
sure that after running the Internet Sharing Wizard (or whatever it's 
called) on Windows, it should be just a matter of pumping 192.168.0.1 as 
your DNS server and gateway into your Linux network settings.
