Well basically I've got a laptop with a wireless card in it, and a PC with a wireless card in it (Belkin Desktop Network Card 802.11g). I've installed both cards and both are installed by Windows XP automatically. My PC's connection to the Internet is fine, working no problem. But I'm trying to connect the Laptop using this wireless connection, and it's having none of it. Both computers are using XP. I did have it set up using ICS and a wired connection a while ago but had to reformat the PC and it didn't work so I thought this would be the easier option. I hoped! Now I've got 2 connection icons in the bottom right taskbar (1 working, 1 with a cross through it). I've searched for local wireless connections, but it isn't finding any, despite the laptop being on... the icon on the laptop has a cross by it too....
