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.

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.
