What method of connection sharing are you using? I assume you mean the ICS USB version?
Does XP have a *current* version of activesync installed on it, and can you use it (guest mode is fine) to browse the ppc when its connected?
Oddly enough, I just finished upgrading to a new linux laptop, and was able to get the old USB modem version (where you "dial" #777 from the computer) to work just dandy under linux. Much to my unending joy.
