linksys usb and laptop wireless connection

I'm looking for help with setting up wireless internet connection.

PC runs windows xp and has the usb adaptor set to ad hoc. Everything appears
to be fine there - excellent signal strength etc.

The laptop has the linksys card which again appears fine. Laptop runs
windows 2000. Excellent signal strength and quality.

Despite appearances saying all is well, I cannot get the laptop to connect.

Does anyone have any ideas what I can do?

Thanks in anticipation.

Could there be any security/firewall access issues?

Having checked firewall doesn't seem to be a problem. I have checked boxes
to share connection etc too.
