Ad Hoc networking: WinXP & SP2

Working with a small business we have a number of laptops that we connect to
a Linksys 54g router when we return from the field, and all that works fine.

However, we need two laptops to work using wireless card to wireless card
without a router in the field. These laptops have WinXP with SP2 on them and
I am finding it very difficult to setup the two laptops to see each other and
talk. I have found a number of examples of how to do this on the net but all
seem outdated because of SP2 or something, because I am unable to set them up.
Can anyone HELP??

I have written an article on how to set this up using Windows XP Service
Pack 2:
