If your laptop is fairly new you should already have a built-in wireless network card.  If you don't, you can purchase a wireless PC or USB card from your local computer store.\n\nIf you want to connect to your DSL at home you must also have a Wireless Access Point or Router.  Some DSL providers provide it for free when you sign up with the for a year.\n\nIf you want to use wireless Internet in Public Places such as coffee shop you must pay a fee (Some coffee shops offer wireless for free) in which case if you have a laptop with Windows XP it should automatically detect wireless networks withing range.

First, you need to get a wireless adapter/card for your PC. It's likely you already have one if it's a laptop.\n\nSecondly, you need a wireless router (I have a netgear that works quite well).\n\nFinally, enable WEP security on your router. The instructions to do this are in the manual. If you have these things and need live help, I'll be happy to walk you through it.

If you have firewire, use that - it's fast.  I think if you use an ethernet cable, that should work also.  You just have to use the Windows Networking Wizard thing and it should be fine.

U need a laptop with built in 54g wi-fi and plenty of USB ports to hook up accessories as u need. Laptop will take less space and wi-fi   will get u fast wireless connection. U may also consider getting Highspeed wireless card from Sprint or Cingular, it works just like cell phone. Some phone can be hook up to PC and use as a modem legally or illegally. check it out at www.phonescoop.com

Just get a Linksys or Netgear wireless G router. Connect the WAN port of the router to the cable modem. Connect both notebooks to the router. \n\nI recommended a G router, but only if you laptops have G wireless cards in them. If not, then get the correct router for your cards (if not G then B).\n\nAs far as security goes, use the WAP or whatever security it has. Be sure to change the default passwords. They are not bulletproof, but unless your neighbors are international super spys, the security in the wireless routers should suffice if you actually use it.

I'm confused by your setup, but here's what you "need" to have a wireless connection...\n\n1.  A wireless router that connects to your DSL or Cable modem.\n2.  A computer with a wireless card or USB wifi dongle that to connect to that router.\n\nYou can plug your Ethernet cable into your router at first to set it up properly with your DSL/Cable modem.  Use your router's documentation to help.\n\nNext setup your router to make sure it's broadcasting a wifi signal and accepting connections (again, in your documentation)\n\nOnce it's all set unlplug the Ethernet from the router, and plugin in your wifi card on your laptop.  It should pickup your router in the list of available wifi spots.  Just connect.

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.

Get either a hub / switch or a crossover cable.\nBeside cabling, both laptops will need a different IP address within the same range.\n\nMore detailed infos:\n\nhttp://www.homenethelp.com/web/explain/about-ethernet-crossover.asp\nhttp://www.answers.vt.edu/ask4help/connection/vtkb697.htm\nhttp://computer.howstuffworks.com/question549.htm

You can use the network connection wizard in the control panel.  You can link them together with a USB to USB.  You didn't mention if you were using, dial up or broadband.  Anyway this link may aid you:\n\nGood Luck

First thing you need to do and to save yourself a trip to the store more than once is check to see if your laptop already has a wireless adaptor. To do this:\nClick Start\nControl Panel\nNetwork Connections\nYou will see one that will have wireless adaptor on it if the system has it installed.\nIf you do not see it you will need to purchase that right along with a router.\nIf you have a cable modem you will need to purchase a broadband router. I recommend a Linksys.\nYour wireless card will be an external card that will slide into a slot on the side of your laptop.\nOnce you purchase these items follow the instructions on installation. Its not hard.
