Hi,

I'm new to Ubuntu but I'm going to say that it is possible. I did something very similar the other night with my friends playstation 3. ADSL->USB modem->XP PC->Play station. A router would be easier but it would probably mean dumping your usb modem unless it also has an ethernet connection.

You have to enable 'internet connection sharing' on your xp pc:
1. Control Panel
2. Switch to Classic View (in top left corner). If it says switch to category view it can be left alone.
3. Double click on Network Connections
4. Right click on your internet connection and click Properties
5. Click the advanced tab.
6. Tick the 'allow other users to connect...' box and choose 'Local area connection' in the home networking drop down box.
7. Click OK.

It should now change your local area connection's ip address to 192.168.0.1 (default, you can change if you want).

Now all you need to do is manually configure Ubuntu's ip address to use 192.168.0.1 as the default gateway and DNS servers, the xp box will forward on dns requests and you should find it works.

Have to say I haven't tried this and it may be complete rubbish but I hope it helps :)
