Check out instructions on setting up Internet Connection Sharing in XP.
Here's the first result I found in Google that explains it clearly:

I wrote that web page, and I'll be happy to answer any questions about
it. Thanks for pointing it out, Dan.

One point for the original poster: Internet Connection Sharing uses
the 192.168.0.x range of IP addresses for the local area network, and
there's no supported way to change it. If you use ICS, change the IP
addresses used by the wireless access point to a different range, such
as 192.168.1.x.
