I have a PPPoE connection on the WinXP machine, and a crossover cable links
the win98 machine to the winxp one. I can actually share files between the
computers, but not the net. I chose the network card connecting the win98
machine as the local network in the ICS options.

Yes any client including MAC and Linux will work with ICS
and requires no configuration as DHCP will do everything
for you. Before I can really answer this question I
would need to know the exact setup you are using, you
might give me a diagram such as the example I listed
below. Given that you are able to get ICS to work with a
third party program indicates that you have the hardware
setup correctly and the problem probably lies somewhere
in the settings. The site listed below will give you
info about ICS and how to configure. You should only
have to configure the XP machine.
