"Wireless Networking"

Here we go,
XP Home, P4 2.66ghz, 512 ram, etc connected to Blueyonder broadband 512k via NIC.
I would like to share the internet to my older system in my brothers room which is a Win 98SE P2 233mhz 160 ram.

i would like a wireless connection to save the hassle of havin to get a wire from my room to his, but im not sure what i need! I read about Access Points and routers, then other people say i just need two usb wireless connections. can anyone tell me what i need and any requimendations?

cheers

I have a NETGEAR MA111 ( http://tinyurl.com/3y4t3 )which works fine, although I had to dload updated drivers due to the pen crashing windows xp with the old ones.

Any ideas of what usb pens to buy? i need something cheap that works, because my brother is hassellin me to get his internet running!

Just get 2 USB wireless pens, Although this way if you want to access the internet via one of them the that system will have to be on, If you have an Access point and you have fast internet then you can access the internet with the other pc off, if you only want file sharing and maybe gaming the the usb pens should be suitable, make sure you get the speed wireless you want for what you want to do.
