You need a Broadband Router. It will hook up with wires to one desktop and wirelessly with your laptop and other desktop. Your wireless desktop will need a PCI card adaptor and your laptop should already have one. You may need to configure your router, however. When you hook it up type in 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1 (thanks, madman)in your browser's address bar to set it up. \nThe best router is:\nLinksys Wireless-G Broadband Router\nModel #:WRT54G\nThe best PCI card is:\nLinksys Wireless-G PCI Card with Speed Booster\nModel #: WMP54GS\nYou can buy these at:\n\nhttp://www.BestBuy.com    \nhttp://www.CircuitCity.com    \nhttp://www.CompUSA.com  \nhttp://www.OfficeMax.com    \nhttp://www.RadioShack.com    \nhttp://www.Staples.com  \nhttp://www.officedepot.com  \n\nThe router is about $89.99 and the PCI card is about $59.99.

If both laptops have infrared ports, they can communicate that way also, however that will be slow, hard to learn how to setup, and probably not worth your time.\n\nThe wireless cards is a good option but is also a little tricky.\n\nJust buy a cheap crossover ethernet cable online (less than $10 on http://www.pricewatch.com) and connect the two computers together via etherhet. If you use the special crossover cable both computers will be able to talk to eachother by simplly assigning each computer an IP address on the network.\n\nOne computer:\n192.168.0.2\n\nThe other computer:\n192.168.0.3\n\nOn both computers:\nSubnet: 255.255.255.0\nDNS: make this up\nGateway: leave it blank or put in the opposite computer's ip address.\n\n(You put these settings into the Internet Properties TCP/IP of the Local Area Connection properties once you've connected both computers together.)\n\nYou can find a more detailed guide by searching google for network crossover cable howto guide or something like that.\n\nYou can also find out how to setup the file sharing so you can access each computer across that cable. It's pretty easy and not as tricky as a wireless connection.

Use an ethernet.  You'll need an ethernet card for both computers.  Many of the modern motherboards for desktops have built-in ethernet and most modern laptops use a modem card or motherboard which have built in ethernet.  You'll have to figure out what kind of hardware you have, basically.  After that it's a matter of making sure you've the correct protocols installed, which are usually just the same thing you'll use for the internet, and then connecting the computers with an ethernet cord (an RJ somethingorother).

On your laptop? Just click on network connections and search for a network and then select one and connect. (It will not allow it if it has been password enabled)

The only way to do this is to have  wireless router that the desktop is connected to. That way if your laptop is wireless(most of them are now), you can print from the laptop to the desktop's printer with no problem. I do it all the time. \n\nThomas\nwww.yourhomestudio.com\n\nFree Home Studio Newsletter  - addme@yourhomestudio.com

Microsoft Exchange server for the Windows side of things. As for the Mac I believe if you are trying to sync Mac & PC you are SOL.

Hi there...you need a monitor switch to be able to use both the Mac and PC with one monitor.  \n\nhttp://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatSectionView.process?IWAction=Load&Merchant_Id=1&Section_Id=200305&SuperParent=/56"%20target="_blank">Belkin%20SoHo%20KVM%20Pag\nhttp://www.daxten.com/ie/cat5-utp-kvm-switch.html

You'll need to set up some kind of network. You can use a crossover cable, or a router. But that's a whole different thing. \n\nOnce you've done that have the printer connected to your mac, and go into the system prefs - print & fax, and in the sharing tab and turn sharing on for that printer. Your pc should now be able to print to that computer across the network. I don't know how to do it so the printer is connected to the pc, something much more complicated probably.

I have found the best way is to use a hub. they are cheap and efficient. You need an ethernet card but unless your pc is old, it probably has one built into the MB.  Thanks for the question, It made me remember a question I had about my comp :)

You can use a network or you can link them using a firewire cable. If you press the 'T' key while booting, a mac will act as a firewire harddrive. The other computer can then access the files on the harddrive as if it was connected to a external harddrive.

Connect a router to your desktop and pick the wifi signal up on your laptop.... guess that was your question

Yes you can but you don't share the hardware- you share the software. There is a program called VNC which allows you to connect to another PC on the network and take control of it, if it as though you were in front of it, very good piece of software.\nGo here for details- you can download a free limited copy:\nhttp://www.realvnc.com/
