I think you are asking about Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).

Here is a link to get you started:

http://www.wikihow.com/Set-Up-Internet-Connection-Sharing-for-Windows-XP

There are other links as well if you google "internet connection sharing windows xp".

The idea being you can sort of pick and choose what seems best for your situation and current level of knowledge.

Then more specific questions can be addressed if and as necessary.
