That would require a second network card in the Windows XP machine, wouldn't
it? Or am I on the wrong track here?

laptops typically come with both a wired ethernet and a wireless
ethernet.
If the computer that's working has an ethernet port, it can share the
Internet connection via the ethernet port because Internet sharing is
built-in to WinXP.
If the computer that's working has wireless, it could share the Internet
connection via an 'adhoc' wireless network to your mothers laptop.
