Not that I don't want to buy a wifi router, it is just that:
I have a computer equipped with EDGE, and I wanted to know if I could share the internet connection with others through wifi.

But, I don't want to install linux. I'm using a Windows XP Pro.

No. I'm sure it could be done software wise, but its the hardware you need.
A wireless router broadcasts a signal, your computer does not.

Buy a wireless router. I bought a Belkin wireless router and works fine, I know there are others in the market much better than the one I got like Linksys but I'm happy with the one I got.

You need a couple of things:
- UTP-network card to connect to the wired network
- Wireless network card to broadcast your wireless signal
- Proper routing software

yes its possble but not advisable, since it could act as an access point, it would be possible with lots of software.
like wingate etc.

It would be cheaper to go buy one for 40 bucks.
