Default Wireless / Wired Network

I currently have a Wired Network with a Win98 PC accessing the Internet through ICS on my Win XP Pro PC
I am purchasing a Laptop which has a Wireless Adapter installed

What kit do I need on my XP Pro PC to enable me to access it from the Laptop using the Wireless connection, I am intending keeping the 98 PC connected through the existing cable so nothing will change on the original setup

Thanks for your help

buy a wireless adapter for the xp pc, personally i like the usb nics. Xp should be able to configure the connection, you may have to search for your network and doubleclick it out of a list. This should occur after PnP installs the card. After that, mimic what you did to get the 98 box connected.
