cannot connect

I'm using wireless between XP PC and this 7 laptop. The XP computer can
connect to the laptop but I can't connect the laptop. I see under network
that the public profile is used - how do I change this to private?

Thanks,
I,

best advice is to get a router. it is much safer to have a router between you
and your broadband Internet connection. some larger ISPs even give out free
routers. who provides your Internet service?

The router won't do anything (except hinder - shall find out) the internet
connection as I'm using 3G. But looks like it may be the only way to go.
