Need help bridging a desktop with ubuntu to the wireless of my Win 7 laptop

[JumpingHungarian]

I've tinkered with Linux before, and I've even worked a quite a bit with it in my Computer Engineering II class, but I've forgotten most of everything that I learned or knew back then.

So, today I decided to install Ubuntu onto my desktop alongside Win XP. Installation was fine, no problems there.
My current setup is a Windows 7 laptop that is connected (wireless) to my router, and an ethernet cable is going from my laptop to the desktop, and I bridged that connection with the laptop's wireless to allow my desktop to access the internet.
Now, I really want to use Ubuntu more than XP, but if I can't get to the internet, that won't happen. I'm have searched Google, but I didn't really find anything about this exactly. Plus I feel that things go better when I have help that is directed at me, and I can ask for clarification and anything else.
So, how can I go about doing this? Is it even possible?

28 views and no love? I thought this was the Linux subforum, where people, you know, helped.
But I guess I'm being too impatient. I just have a bunch of stuff to do today, and I would love to have had this set up yesterday, or by today, but somehow I doubt that's going to happen.

On another note, Windows 7 warned me about an IP address conflict, so something is getting through.

Yes! I got it to work! Apparently it's not too much different from a 7 and XP bridge.

Alright, bumping my own thread from last year because I need to figure out how to get this to work again.
My Ubuntu only desktop is once again connectionless, and I can't play or do anything fun, because this laptop is balls. Can anyone please help me out.

Start out with giving some more specifics. What is the network card you're using? Hopefully this isn't gonig to be the case for you, but I had to install ndiswrapper and make it work with my wireless drivers for Windows.

I remember that I didn't have to install anything to make it work. It just boiled down to changing the right settings in either Ubuntu, Win 7, or both.
