Vista laptop to the internet via a XP Pro desktop

[JazeMail]

In 2 days time I take possesion of my new laptop. Vista Business.
At home I have a desktop PC running XP Pro.
The desktop has a broadband connection (non wireless).
It doesn't connect via a router but via a USB single user ADSL modem.
How can I connect to the net from the laptop using the broadband
connection on my desktop pc?
Hardwire or wireless solution? Hardware required? OS setups/configs?
Many thanks.

I suggest you post to a Vista newsgroup. In this case look at
microsoft.public.windows.vista.networking_sharing

Here is a list of Vista specific newsgroups:

_Simplest_ would be to get a router.
