wireless ad hoc network and file sharing

Hi, I am a newbie in the area of wireless networking.
I have installed a wifi connection for two laptops and it works well. Both
PC can access to the internet without problem.
Recently, I wanted to create an ad hoc network between my two PC and I had
the greatest difficulties to make it work.
But there is still a problem, if I decide to "link" my two PC, I lost the
internet connection for both of them.
I Have a D-Link Router directly connected to my cable modem and my TCP/IP
default parameters are set on an IP provided automatically.
To make my ad hoc network and file sharing to work, I have to set an IP for
the two computers but this leads to a loss of internet connection without
mentioned that the process is annoying.
Is there a simplier way to set together an infrastructure and an ad hoc
network ?

Thanks in advance

David
