Connection Sharing simply makes the XP machine into a NAT gateway for your home network, and enables a DHCP+DNS service on the XP box, so that other home machines can autoconfigure themselves against it. A FreeBSD machine should be able to do that without too much trouble. There's plenty of previous traffic on this topic on the FreeBSD lists -- start with these, for example http://freebsd.rambler.ru/srch?words=3D%22Connection+sharing%22 Good luck. Oh, and good luck in the near future when you start trying to persuade your Father that having a FreeBSD box to do the Internet Gateway stuff would be a better idea -- somehow I can sense that one coming...
