Router? Do I need one?

I've got a Dell laptop with a wireless card. I've then got a PC with a wireless card in it (PCI). Can I just network the two up without a router? I was thinking I can just use a proxy server on the comptuer to share the net connection (I'm with AOL Broadband)

Any Ideas

Thanks

A router would be a lot simpler and more secure from outside attacks.

Hmm well I can't see anyone round here coming in for an 'outside attack'.

Ii'm intending to use PPPShare to share the net connection. I'll install the two cards, then configure the IP's, set the proxy up on the PC and then configure the proxy server address on the laptop to use the net through that.

Sounds ok to me?

 

Thanks
