Sharing Internet Connection

My brother and I recently bought 2 new laptops with wireless connectivity. We
allready connect wirelessly through a Peer-to-peer (ad-hoc) connection and
have no problems. But now we want to share an internet connection and
unfortunately we are having difficulties. The Network Setup wizard doesn't
pick up our wireless connection. It only picks up a disconnected Local Area
Connection. When our wireless connection is disconnected, a "disconnected
wireless connection" option appears, but it dissapears as soon as we connect
making it impossible for us to complete the wizard. How can we avoid this?
All we want to do is share an internet connection whilst connected
wirelessly. (without an access point - Peer-to-Peer connection)

You need to state what kind of Internet connection and how it is connected to
your network.

Hi
As said above we do not know waht type of connection you are using.
However this might cover the idea:

My laptop uses a dail-up connection to connect directly to the internet. Does
that help?
