If you set up RedHat as a server through it's control panel you can connect the 2 machines via a crossover ethernet cable as this is what Unix/Linux systems are designed to do. You can also do this through a router and with the use of other Programmes such as Samba you can also share files and printer.
If you are simply wanting to use the net on both machines a router is by far the simplest way using DHCP as both systems use them as standard.
There are lots of Linux wiki sites out there to help as I know from experience it can get a little confusing.

I too faced the same situation at the beginning when I bought a Unix Software to my already Windows 2000 Professional. I think a router should be able to solve your problem on your network to the DSL modem. Nevertheless, unix has its own connection to the Internet, 2000 does the same thing. XP also must surpass the same base of networking.
BEST OF LUCK.

My guess would be you need a router on your network to the dsl modem. then, linux has its own connection to the www, xp gets to do its thing at the same time the linux is running including the internet.

Yes. If you get a router and hook up both computers to the router, and then hook the router to the internet connection, both PCs can get online.
