So did you run the Network Wizard for Internet connection sharing on
the main pc? It should
create a floppy that you load on the laptop while running the wizard
on it. This should bridge
your main pcs wireless card to the USB connection.

SP2 has a built in firewall, and it blocks communication with many devices.
The default is to block. In some circumstances you have to make
changes/exceptions if you have some other than a stand alone system.

You may have some kind of configuration issue that's preventing the machine
from getting an IP form the DHCP server on the gateway machine. This would
be indicated to you if you go to the Command Prompt on the client machine
and enter IPconfig /all to see if the machine has an IP. The machine may
not have one or the IP starts with 169 indicating that the machine couldn't
get an IP from a DHCP server and timed out.
