I am new to networking, so would appreciate help.

If you have two pcs (both with XP), networked in ad-hoc mode by two wireless network cards, how would you set windows up to use the broadband connection on one pc with the other.

I ask as the Internet Connection Sharing Wizard only seems to work with ethernet/wired cards.

It would also be useful if someone could tell me how to share files and HD access over this adhoc network properly as well (as I said, I am very new to actual networks), so I can access mp3s etc on one pc on the other.

It would also help greatly if someone could detail the same procedure between an XP and Win 98 computer.

Cheers.

I use ICS on my Wireless network card- it allows me to use my Xbox from my room. So you can do that.

As for accessing another HDD over the network, follow this:

Start > My Network Places > Add a network place > Follow the wizard until you get to "browse", and select the PC that you want to access. Then it's just a case of finishing the wizard, and everytime you want to access a folder/HDD you go to Start > My Network places.
