sharing Internet from windows XP to Blackryhno

hi
i have fat PS2 with HDD and Blackryhno linux on it which i use it as my home server for managing some stuff and...
i have windows XP machine which connects to my router using wifi
i connected my Blackryhno with a cable and can ping both machines.
the problem is i can't share my XP machine's internet with Blackryhno! i configured ip addresses like this:
BlackRyhno:
/etc/network/interfaces

Code:

IP: 192.168.101.2
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.101.1  (my router configured on this ip)

/etc/resolv.conf

Code:

4.2.2.4 (my ISP DNS)
8.8.8.8 (My Alternate DNS)

Windows xp ethernet :

Code:

IP: 192.168.101.6
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.101.1
DNS: 4.2.2.4
ALT DNS: 8.8.8.8

i enabled "Allow internet sharing..." on this card too

Windows xp wifi :

Code:

IP: 192.168.101.5
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.101.1
DNS: 4.2.2.4
ALT DNS: 8.8.8.8

when i try to connect the cable my internet is gone! so i think it's because XP machine confuses which Card to use in order to get to the internet!
could anyone plz tell me where did i messed up? or what am i missing?
thanks in advance

When you configure internet connection sharing on the wifi adapter the lan adapter will automatically be setup as 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0. This as far as I know can not be changed. If you setup the BlackRyhno using DHCP then it will automatically get an IP address and DNS information from XP.
