You want to share files or what? If sharing files is your plan then you want to setup Samba or NFS. I would suggest Samba for now. A little more info would be helpful so we can better help you.

by networking most people mean they should be able to share files, internet, and printing at the least. Internet should be easy enough.

samba.org to share files/printers with winxp

Of course, now that Services for Unix is free, you can always add an NFS client to the XP machine...



look around http://www.tldp.org for HOWTO docs on setting up samba (or the Samba.org webzit)
