Like I said, I would recommend moving the DSL modem to the Linux
computer, because that would make use of Linux's powerful networking and
security features.

Look at the current "Sympatico, Mandrake9.2 and Speedstream5200" thread
(it should develop into a tutorial sooner or later :)) for the setup
info for the DSL connection, or follow the instructions that come with
the source package (or
<http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/rp-pppoe/how-to-connect.txt>)

Once you can connect to the net from the Linux machine, allowing WinXP
to share the connection is fairly easy. Someone with Mandrake experience
should help you there.
