You have two computers,
Computer A:
Ubuntu with 2 Eth Cards

Computer B: Windows XP

Computer A Steps:
1-) Computer -> system configuration -> Networking
2-) Select Eth1 properties
IP Address: 192.168.1.100
Subnet mast: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 10.0.0.138 Assuming its your ADSL modem IP
Press Ok, Do not activate it yet.

Now Computer B Steps:
Start -> control panel -> networks
Internet protocol (TCP/IP) -> properties
Tick use the following IP address
IP Address: 192.168.1.101

Default gateway: 192.168.1.100
Preferred DNS server: 10.0.0.138 which is your ADSL modem IP address in our example

I'm not sure but you may have to reboot WINDOWS XP couple of times to get it working preperly.

now you are done, in case it didn't work
Try to ping A from B and B from A
Try to ping your Modem IP address from B
Try to stop your firewall while setting it up & troubleShooting
I had problem with setting up Firestarter after setting up the network, so I had to remove it "COMPLETE REMOVAL" then re-apt it, and it auto configured itself.

in computer A type
sudo iptables -t nat -L
sudo cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward (1 enabled )
