I am sort of new to networking and need someone's help. What is the best way
to set up two computers running xp home so that they can share internet
access and also printer and file sharing, the more information (tools,
hardware, software) you can give me the better, thanks.

The answer depends on what hardware you use to connect to the internet.
The easiest and most efficient way is to use a router with a built-in
switch, with the router logging in to your ISP and providing NAT to a
local network. That assumes your modem uses ethernet; other hardware
makes the problem harder.
