Hi, I'm new to this forum and I wondered if any of you experts could help me.

I've 2 PCs that I would like to connect together using a wireless network so that they can both access the internet using blueyonder.

PC1 is connected directly to the blueyonder box (cable modem?) and runs windows xp

PC2 is in another room and runs windows 98SE.

I've purchased two belkin waps (fsd6130u) and connected one to each PCs spare USB port. I've configured the wireless network as an ad-hoc network, each PC can see the others discs and you can transfer data between them. However PC2 cannot see the internet even though I've enabled ICS on PC1. When I first connected the WAP to PC1 windows configured it as bridge connection I reconfigured it as a LAN connection.

Any ideas on wht i need to do to enable internet access from PC2?

Regards
