How To: Use Win98 as a Host and WinXP as a client?

How do I do this? I am using a PC 233MMX, 64MB RAM running
on Windows 98SE. I have a broadband connection connected to
my PC. My PC has 2 network cards. I am trying to connect my
PC to my notebook running on Win XP Home Edition using
Cross Cable. Any idea how? I have no idea on the TCP/IP
thinggy... If possible could you help me with detailed
instructions.

Thanks.

Configure Windows 98SE as an Internet Connection Sharing host as shown
here:

Configure Windows XP as an Internet Connection Sharing client as shown
here:

If you have an external broadband modem, an alternative is to get a
broadband router to share the connection between both computers.
There would be no need for ICS, and it would be more reliable than
using ICS.
