I have an ASUS P5W DH Deluxe motherboard with a built in wireless AP. In station mode, I can connect to the internet, in access point mode, I lose my external IP and neither my desktop or the laptop I am trying to access the internet on through my desktop will connect.

I'm running Windows XP SP3 on both systems. the laptop is a Gateway 600ygr using a Rosewill RNX-G1W USB 2.0 Adapter and it is getting 4 bar signal.
The desktop is a custom built rig

What are you trying to do with the AP mode? That's for connecting other workstations through this one like a router, do you really want to do that? If it's in that mode, you need a wired connection to the router, it can't connect to a router in AP mode.

I switched to AP because I lost internet access when I put it in station mode

I don't have a wireless router. I have 2 desktops connected to a wired router. I want to set the one desktop to be an access point for a laptop

Configure an ad-hoc network and use ICS.
