XP HOME NETWORK AND LINUX

[GEORGE]

I have a PC running Windows XP and uses a modem to connect
to INTERNET.
I have another PC running Suse Linux with a Lan card...and
I want to connect it to the XP PC which also has Lan card
in order to have internet also in the old PC that runs
LINUX.?
Would be glad if you could help me.

Enable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on the XP PC's dial-up
Internet connection. I've written a web page with details:

Configure the Linux PC to obtain its IP configuration automatically
from a DHCP server. ICS runs a rudimentary DHCP server on the XP PC.
