Same way as sharing the internet but you don't plug anything into the WAN socket as far as I know. You should be able to connect to a certain IP address or www address to access the setup pages and then it's a case of setting the router to talk wirelessly to the PC you want to connect to without a cable.
Can the PC connected via cable see the router? Power off the router, power of the PCs, Plug the PC in to it, power up the router, let the lights stabilise, power up the pc connected to it by cable, look in the manual for the address you need to point the PC at but make sure you have set the browser to not dial a connection while you are setting the router up.
