Two Computer Wireless LAN Help Please

Is it possible to set up a small LAN with only two PCs with a wireless
network card each?

I already have a Windows XP PC and I'm planning on building an additional
Linux box. How do I configure a wireless network with only two cards?

My cable internet connection is currently going into my XP PC - how do I set
up access to the internet on my Linux box via the XP machine?

TIA for any advice.

That is true, but many cards have the option listed as "peer-to-peer" and not
"ad-hoc".

Fair enough, I've not had too much to do with wireless so far, most of
what I do know comes from various NG's so isn't aways 100% reliable!.
