You can use an ad-hoc connection with the XP desktop and ICS... See this guide for help. Modify as needed...

Personally I would recommend a combination broadband router/wireless access point, if its in your budget, however. It just makes this all a bit easier, IMO... The Linksys WRT54G devices get good reviews... I use a Buffalo WBR-G54 on my home LAN...

Others, I am sure, will have different suggestions and ideas...
