Install dhcpd and configure it with your ISPs DNS servers, or use a
configuration tool (like firestarter) to do it for you.
WinXP will then get your ISPs DNS name servers.
Running a caching name server on a two PC network is probably more
trouble than its worth.
Here is an example of what to put in /etc/dhcpd.conf
ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option domain-name-servers 63.67.120.14, 63.67.120.13;
option ip-forwarding off;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.254;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
}
