Yes this is possible. They both run on the TCP/IP protocol which is standard between OS's. Setup the windows XP computer as your gateway using the wizard. one nic will be plugged into your broadband modem, the other will have an internal IP and be plugged into the linux box. Set the linux box to have an IP with the same subnet and in the same IP block (not completely necessary but do it anyway, for easy explaination sake). From there set the internal IP of the card in the XP machine that has a cable going to the linux box. Test the connection by pinging between machines. Go from there with your net connection. hth, mail me if you repost.
