Since my *nix knowledge is virtually non-existant, I'll concentrate on the XP side.
1) Are your XP systems successfully obtaining IP addresses from the router? (ipconfig /all from a command window). You should see 192.168.x.y. If the address starts 169, the PCs are not getting addresses from the router for some reason.

Yes. Static set or otherwise. No conflicts or anything.

If the answer is no, there is, as you suspect, a problem getting out to the net. Any firewalls involved (XP firewall, zonealarm, etc)?

No. There is no route to the net throught the router.

If the answer to 2) is yes, but the answer to 3) is no, it is a DNS problem. What DNS server is shown in the ipconfig at step 1)?
You may have already done all this, but, if not, post back the results.

No, but then I can't do 2) either.
