OK, so what you are saying is that you do not need to share your
internet connection, you want to share your FILES. You want your XP
machine to be able to have access to files on your Fedora system.

For that you could use Samba. I do it all the time, although I don't
do it for the entire filesystem. I have a few shares that I have
specifically set up so that I can easily transfer files back and
forth. Samba can help you with that.
