Wi-fi network

I'm a n00b when it comes to wireless networking so feel free to treat me like one

Thing is, I've got one i9300 and my fiancè has an Acer LMi3002. Both of these laptops are fitted with internal wi-fi cards. Our connection to the internet is crap (we live out in the sticks) ie, it's ISDN and to connect to that I use a nifty little thing called BlueFritz Bluetooth ISDN (from www.avm.de). The BlueFritz is simply an access point and a USB dongle which connects to eachother using bluetooth. Works like a charm. However, I've only got one dongle and two laptops. And so, finally, to the point: can I establish a network using our two wi-fi cards and share the ISDN line? If so, I assume that I have to establish a server on one of them? Or am I utterly confused now? If it's possible, can I specify which ISDN line I am to use and she is to use?

Or is it just simpler to get hold of a new dongle?

You should be able to use MS internet connection sharing and the network setup wizard built into XP.

I guessing here but once the computers are setup both will share the bandwidth. I think you might have to set the wireless cards to AD-Hoc if you want to file and printer share also. I may also be completely wrong here but its what I would try.

Thanks. It's definetly worth a try as those USB dongles are hard to come by..
