wireless peer to peer Q

To make use of my d-link access point before broadband come to my area I
have plugged it into my desktops LAN port and config it on the right channel
and network.

I have purchased a d;link wireless net work card and placed it into my lap
top and set this with the same channel network name. the laptop network says
its connected to a wireless LAN but I cannot access the other pcs.

The idea was to share the dialup connection from the desktop with the laptop
to allow me to work on line anywhere around the house of garden.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong or how I can solve this please. been at it
for 4 days and getting a little disheartened.

Many thanks in advance

Your LAN will be your wireless connection.
Try setting your wireless card to infrastructure mode.
I assume the IP address of the AP is 192.168.0.xx ,as long as it is not
192.168.0.1.

Running Windows XP Service Pack 2? If so you need to go into Control
Panel, Windows Firewall, Exceptions and tick File and Printer Sharing
as it blocks it by default.
