Computers A & B each have XP Pro and are connected by a cross-over cable to

Wireless nic was installed on A for access to existing 3-computer LAN
connected to cable modem through router.
How do I get B to access the Internet??
(Am volunteer for charity org, so my time is worth less than another
wireless nic for B)
1) It seems that ICS on A with B as client would set up dueling DHCPs and
NATs??
2) Can I set up static IPs on all computers and have A address router for
gateway and have B adddress A as gateway??
3) Can this be done at all??
Thanks for any help,
As Doug Sherman said, you can set up ICS on A with B as client.
An alternative is to create a network bridge on A, combining its wired
and wireless network connections into a single connection. B would
then connect to the same LAN that A connects to for Internet access.
I've written a web page with details:
XP ICS - Network Bridge
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/networkbridge.htm
If the network bridge doesn't work correctly, try the steps shown
