Default wireless network help needed

i have my laptop and pc networked at the moment by nework cable, the pc is the one thats connected to the adsl modem - the laptop currently accesses internet through the pc, anyway i have got wireless usb for pc and card for lap top have installed both and when both plugged in they know each other is on line but the laptop wont connect to internet as if theres no connection- but if you unplug card from laptop then pc flashes up wireless network disconnected so it knows its there!

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?


Ta in advance

You need to enable Internet Connection Sharing on the USB wifi interface.
