Yes. XP used dhcp and received different ip address and routing
information. That prevents the linux box from seeing the XP box.

More like the modem gets an ip address from your isp.

I do not know enough about windows to reply. Guessing you picked the
ip values which XP defaults to when it cannot access the net.

1. Buy another ip address from your ISP.
2. Buy a Network Address Translation (NAT) router. That allows all
boxes connected to it to use the one ip address supplied by your ISP.
3. Configure one of the boxes to be a gateway for the other box. For
hardware layout
