        Well, you've got an interesting setup I must say. First off, are you set on
having the local network access the internet through the winXP machine? Is
there some reason you don't just connect your internal lan to the router?

It MIGHT be possible to do what you ask with what you've got, but it would
be MUCH simpler to just put those machines on the router instead of going
through the XP machine. TTYL
