Problems with sharing single Wi-Fi connection on 2 stations

[orangebang]

I wrote yesterday about this problem.

To reiterate.

Upstairs, wireless router.

Downstairs, 2 PC's.

Station #1 has a wireless PCI card in it, as well as a 3com NIC. OS: WindowsXP Pro

Station #2 has NO wireless PCI card, but it does also have a 3com NIC. OS: Windows98SE

I've connected the 2 computers downstairs via crossover cable, but I'm having problems with #2 getting an internet connection.

#1 is fine, but as soon as I install the bridge on networks, I get no internet connection on #1.
When I remove it, everything is fine again.

Do I need to manually input all the settings on #2? I made the network disk in the XP utilities, and ran it. I believe #1 is detecting #2 on the network, but #2 cannot see anything in network neighborhood.

Does anyone have a link where I can get step by step instructions on how to share an internet connection this particular way?

I'm probably missing a lot of steps, as I'm not familiar with XP at all. I just got it, and it's totally different than what I'm used to.

not sure if this will help but here goes nothing

i set up a dsl connection in xp then using the control panel /network and internet connections

set up or change a small office or home network choose no internet connection for this, create the disk and install the floppy in the other computer (crossover already installed before starting😉)
then use run command and start the floppy program and at the last question choose just end option

then enable internet connection sharing on both computers at view network connections under my network places

this is how i set up a dsl sharing connection but i don't know if it will work on wifi

hope this helps
