Topic: [Solved] Internet Connection Sharing from WinXP to #! Statler 2?

As topic says, how would I go about internet connection sharing? I don't feel like NDISWRAPPING the USB adapter driver in Linux when the system I am using Linux on will only need to be updated, have the correct kernel and modifications I wish to put in place, and then rarely, if ever, be put on the internet again. My main workstation is WinXP SP2 or 3, and I was wondering what steps are necessary to get the #! installation to use the shared connection from the WinXP computer through a router.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

basically, you just need to:

- enable the internet connection sharing option on your XP machine
- setup a automatic connection on your linux box and
- connect the two machines (crossover cable may be neccessary)

and thats it, the linux box will get its ip via DHCP from the xp machine.

i'm a linux!
