Neil Did you try firestarter? (get it at downloads www.pclinuxonline.com) The introductory wizard should recognise that you have a lan interface connecting to your XP box (yuck) and an internet interface to the internet. It should then offer to apply the firewall only on the internet interface. The reason I like firestarter is because when it is running, and for example you find you cannot ping to your Linux box, then an alert will pop up in firestarter telling you that the XP box has been trying to ping, and then simply by right clicking on the alert you can open up that service, or the entire IP address.
Alternatively if you use InteractiveBastille and select advanced networking options then you can elect to run the firewall on specific interfaces.
