Stumped again ??

One or the other !!!
I have 2 PC's, both using win xp home, and have a ad-hoc connection by just
using 2 wireless cards, a ASUS 54mps and a Belkin 54mps.

Previously I had them both using the same Broadband connection fine, but
could not share folders and printer between the 2, tried alsorts so just
ignored cos thats all I really wanted it for.

Now however, its the opposite, they're sharing files and printer but no
internet connection and I'm totally stumped.Got all the ticks in the right
boxes.....methinks ....but ain't actually changed any settings etc.
Anyone got any idea's or should I just go and buy a router, and will that
solve my problems ?

it :-)
