How do I share an internet connection from Windows XP to a Mac OS?

Question

Any ideas?
It's really bugging me, and I'm pretty computer literate.

I'm admittedly used to apple computers, and recently my family has bought a new windows computer.
Basically, it now has the access to the internet and we want to be able to share this internet connection to multiple apple laptops in the house. Is there any way to do this without a router?

Thanks,
Brook

::EDIT::
I have a network, I just need to add my laptops to it, I think...

Also wanted to say,
I'm on NTL,
modem model no: E08C007

Computer is a new Dell

How do i find what wireless card I'm using? Would i be useful? Heh... I wish I'd bought the computer myself :S

There is no way to share internet connection with more than two computers without a router.

To find out which wireless adapter you have, right click the "My Computer" icon, select properties from the drop-down menu, click on the Hardware tab, then on the Device Manager button. Click the + sign next to Network Adapters and it should be listed there.
