It's easy:

1. Disable ICS if it's enabled.

2. Disable XP's Internet Connection Firewall on the Ethernet card and
USB WiFi adapter if it's enabled.

3. Create a network bridge between the Ethernet card and USB WiFi
adapter. I've written a web page with details:

   XP ICS - Network Bridge

http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/networkbridge.htm

4. Enable ICS. If it asks, tell it to use the network bridge for the
home network connection.

If the network bridge doesn't seem to be working, see this site:
