Hey there!! Maybe i can help!! To network to pcs wireless you have two options!!
1. simply 2 wireless network interface cards (WNIC) (this would be called peer to peer networking) 2. 1 Wireless Access Point, A switch, and Wireless Network Interface Card (WNIC). This option is good if you plan to expand your network in the future. (this is called infrastructure networking and is best for larger wireless networks).
You will need one of your pcs set up to share the internet and issue ip address's. ICS (internet connection sharing) is your best bet to start with as it is pretty simple to set up and is included in Win98se and up!
