You can use HPNA but if you want to share the internet connection from your
XP, you still have to install ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) and your XP
needs to be running for you to use the internet on your laptop. Or you also
can use a cable, DSL router and in this case, you do not need ICS and your
XP doesn't need to be up to use the internet on the laptop.
