I have a 
--------------
cable modem
Windows XP Machine
Redhat Linux 8 machine with 2 ethernet cards

The linux machine is fully functioning and can surf the internet
The Windows XP machine is connected via a crossover ethernet cable to the
Windows XP machine and appears to have some connection

What I can't get is the Windows XP machine to surf the internet.  

How do I do this while using the Linux box as a router?  Do I setup Linux as a
DHCP server, and if I do what settings/masks/ip ranges to I choose.  Can I use
masquerading and forwarding to give the windows machine a static ip even though
that ip may conflict with another one on the internet (hoping masquerading will
avoid any conflicts).  What do I do?  Please help, I have the Negus Redhat Bible
for referencing but it doesn't seem to help with setting up a cable modem.

Specifically what settings I should have for eth0, /etc/sysconfig/network ,
ipchains, iptables, the settings in the "neat" window, and in Windows XP. 
Please note I do not have any static IPs.

Thank you for any help you can give.

Current Setup
