Hello! Be prepared to see a flame or two; the
"newbies" list is not often used for technical
questions. But, welcome anyhow, and I'll try
to offer a word of advice. YMMV.

I do this all the time. Trick the XP machine by putting
fake info in the hosts file. IIRC, path is c:\windows\system32
\drivers\etc\hosts. Like FreeBSD*, it'll check there first.
192.168.1.1 mydevelopment.web.com

Enable ftp via /etc/inetd.conf. Or use an ssh(sftp) client.
Or, install SAMBA. (/usr/ports/net/samba).

I wouldn't assume that if I were you, unless the dsl
modem is known to have NAT capability, or the ISP
is giving you two publically routable addresses, in
which case your sites will be visible from outside
without specifically configuring otherwise, (say, a
firewall at least).

I'd definitely think of using the FBSD machine as a
gateway/firewall also, as I'm assuming there will be
one external IP address, and you'll need one of the
computers to have that address. I could be wrong;
but in my setups over here, the cable/DSL modems
don't handle the NAT duties, so a router or *BSD
box needs to.

*Yes, that's configurable, but it's default, right?
