can access both laptop and main pc together ona wireless
basis and also to share the internet connection on the
wireless system as well, i am struggling and going back

chances are you'll have to do what I did.
Elect to use ICS on 1 or the other computer, I personally only use it
on my laptop(older model) since I don't use it much. I have a Belkin

wireless DSL("Dumbass at Staples") router
(like it, but what part of dial-up don't you understant!)

the 11MPS model for which I had to configure as an Access Point. This
should definately resolve your Problem, and then just run ICS on the
computer you want to establish the connection

BTW you may also need to disable DHCP in your router as well, setting
it as an AP should take care of this

I really hope this helps

I have the same problem trying to setup a wireles peer-
peer network, going back and forth with the networking
wizard. Can a peer-peer network be setup by just using a
wireless adapter card and nothing else eg: router/access
point.???
 
I haven't done it, but my wireless card says this would be "ad hoc" mode
-- no router/access point, just peer-to-peer between two
computers/wireless cards.
