Angry Sharing Internet over wirless LAN

Hi,
I put this in the windows xp section because i think its a windows problem as all my hardware works!
I am going to try and keep this simple. I have 1 desktop and 2 laptops, lets call them A,B and C respectivley. A is connected to the internet using a USB ADSL modem, and is sharing the internet using a crossover LAN cable with B. B and C have a wirless network set up but I am having trouble sharing the internet with C (I can exchange files with no problem). I have tried ticking "Allow other network users to connect through this computers internet connection" box but I receive an error that says "An error occured while internet connection sharing was being enabled. Cannot comnplete this function." This happens if I tick this box for either the wireless or the wired LAN connection. How can I share the internet with C aswell? A has no wireless card, and I dont really want to buy a router. All the computers are running on Windows XP Home SP2.
Thanks a lot for any help!!
Chris
