ad hoc wireless network

I've been reading the latest web user about setting up an ad hoc network. I want to connect my pc and laptop so I can share my bb connection. I don't mind if they sit on the same desk but thought that wireless would be good anyway because I take my laptop to university with me and could use the wireless facility there as well.
My questions are probably pretty basic!!
Firstly, how do I know if windows service pack 2 has been loaded on my pc? Window updates stuff automatically so is it possible it's done the service pack without me being too aware of it???
Secondly, I know my laptop is wireless enabled but how do I know if my pc is? On the control panel it has an icon named 'wireless network setup'. Does this mean it's wireless enabled?
My laptop has a book that came with it and gives all sorts of information but the pc didn't come with anything so convenient. I have doubted the wisdom of buying it through tiny now but that's another issue.
I hope that by knowing these two things I'll be able to follow the instructions web user gives for creating an ad hoc connection.
Any help much appreciated.
