Probably not the problem, but with this setup using winxp,
Did you make sure both laptops have IPs on the same subnet on their
shared port.
I am guessing the wifi cards gets an address through dhcp. From my
experience you should set the local Ethernet (shared one) to
192.168.0.1 and the one on your laptop to 192.168.0.2. Make sure you
can ping 192.168.0.1 from your laptop (you may need to turn off the
winxp firewall on that port but not sure), and that works make your
laptop use the winxp as the router and dns server.
