Need help with peer to peer no hub network

I am setting up a linksys peer to peer without a hub or router. They told me
it was possible. But so far I can get no connection. I am running XP Pro on
the desk top and XP Home on my lap top. THe lap top card is a wpc54g and the
desk top wusb54g. I have set up tcp/ip address's, do I need to issue dns
numbers and how do I determine them. I have dial up internet on the desk top
computer. I get no response from the ping test.
Please help me.

I am afraid that it will a little hard to use a Crossover Cable with
Wireless Units.

You need to configure the Wireless cards in Ad-Hoc mode. The selection of
Ad-Hoc is usually in the cards utility or and drivers.

The following is the instructions for regular configuration, should rather
similar to Ad-Hoc.
