Never installed wireless, so be nice :) here is what im trying to do

trying to connect my laptop to my pc, im not using any routers or switches, my pc is connected to internet through normal ADSL modem.

I created a wireless connection on my pc with TCP/IP settings "Obtain an IP address automatically"

My laptop picks up this connection, i say connect, it connects with "excellent" signal. but im not able to connect to the internet!

on my pc i set my Broadband connection to "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection"

firewalls are turned off

my wireless network's settings are:
Network Authentication:Open
Data encryption: Disabled
"The Key..." box is ticked

what am i doing wrong?
