This computer [box1] runs FC-5 and has a wireless connection to the internet via eth0, into a wireless bridge, to a wireless router connected to a satellite receiver/modem.

I also can exchange files via Samba on eth1, with a Windows XP computer [box5] which has no internet connection other than a conventional modem which is now useless since I terminated my service with AT&T Worldnet. I don't often use the XP computer but I would like to be able to update applications and sync the clock occasionally. I would like to connect it to my ISP through this computer to avoid buying yet another wireless adapter.

I haven't had much luck "googling" but probably am not inputing the right keywords. Most of what I found was about connecting Linux via a Windows box. Can anyone suggest where to look for information/instructions on connecting an XP system via Linux?

I'd set up the Linux box as a router/firewall using shorewall (which is in Extras).

Here's a HOWTO:
