Question WLAN

Just ventured into the world of WiFi, so please excuse my ignorance and maybe you can help a answer a few questions...

Hardware outlay:

Main PC (XP),
Laptop (XP) (built in wireless),
Belkin ADSL Modem w/Wireless G router

Got it setup at the min to replace my existing ADSL modem, so the laptop is connecting to the Belkin wirelessly, and the PC is connected using an Ethernet cable.

Can I use the Belkin to setup a Workgroup LAN so that from the laptop I can wirelessly access the PC's shared doc's?

Have tried the network setup wizard but it didn't get me too far... on my PC which I think has XP SP2 installed there was an option for "Setup a wireless network for a home or small office" which my laptop doesn't have... downloading SP2 for it to see if it installs that option...
