I got a pc running windows xp that receive an internet connection from a
modem by its ethernet card.
The pc has an extra wireless card and i want to know how i can share the
connection via the wireless card. So i could get a internet connection on
my laptop...

Maybe the desktop, machine or access point you are connecting to is
blocking you or internet connection sharing is not enabled on it. It could
also be the firewall set up to block internet sharing. It may also be that
machine is either not connected to the internet or does not have an
internet connection. See, it could few things...
We have established that your wi-fi is OK seen you connect to the network
OK, the problem is you are blocked somehow from using the internet or there
is no internet on the other side!
If you have access to the machine that have an internet line, try to setup
Internet connection sharing properly, as you need to set it up on the
server and client, winxp has a good guide.
Also, give it few seconds to scan and trigger the dialup on the other end,
reboot if you have a fresh setup, do a connection repair if possible...

Sorry, I can see there is an internet connection on the other machine from
the earlier post quoted above. I suggest just to set up Internet connection
sharing and see what happens, you'll get there at the end. There are a lot
of similar problems on these forums, just search above, I am sure there are
other interesting reads and suggestions.
