ICF = Internet Connection Firewall? (not sure about this one)
ICS = Internet Connection Sharing (use your XP box as a router/NAT)

This should probably have read: 
"I'm assuming you have two NIC's in your XP box."

He's asking if you've got two Network Interface Cards in your XP
system.

What should your YDL box say if it's using your XP box as it's router?
If you log in and type '/sbin/route' you should see the IP address of
your XP box as the default route.

Before this can happen, you'll need to config your YDL box to use the
XP box as it's router.  If you have it set to get it's IP via DHCP,
this should happen automatically, if you don't, then you will have to
set this configuration manually, fire up 'redhat-config-network' from a
command-line, or I'm sure it's in one of the KDE menus (dunno which one,
I don't use KDE, but I'm sure it's got an obvious enough name)
