I also tried this way described by Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/expert/bowman_02april08.mspx but unable to establish. Can you people guide me this process.

Thanks.

It's called Ad-Hoc wireless networking and it can be used to connect PCs to each other (and to the internet via ICS) without a router.
