How is your network mounted? Explain it to us please.
Greetings,
Samba will do the trick , AS for the internet share it'll be real easy , which one you want for server though ? XP or your linux BOX?
() Keep in mind that the mount will be ReadOnly or you need to allow others to modify the shared folder ... ???
Just state your problem , and be more specific about everything so you can be helped
Cheers

Greetings ,
In any case , let's suppose your server is the one with XP.
To your Linux Box :
To use samba , install the necessary packages
To mount a shared folder from your XP to you linux box using samba
mount -t smbfs -o username=XXX ( password field aint necessary , cause either you got either you dont have a passwd ( which in that case you just press ENTER anyway ) asks you by itself )
so :
mount -t smbfs -o username=XXX //winXPpcName/ShareFolder'sName /mnt/MOUNTPOINT
***MOUNTPOINT*** must be present before all that.
That way you mount a shared folder.
Now as for the LAN/share INTERNET connection,what are we talking about here...DSL , DIALUP ?
Farewell

aha, I have a similar problem. The server is on my linux pc, and my windows xp pc has to connect through my linux system.
So that I can use internet on both.
I have a cable connection, I connect through dhcp, my internet works under mandrake 10 but as soon as I enable internet sharing it blocks on both pcs.
If I use windows xp on the server pc, it works fine.
