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

The cheapest way to go is to just plug into the Ethernet ports on the router. Of course the desktop must be fairly close to the router and have an Ethernet NIC. Why introduce the difficulties of wireless unless needed, the Ethernet connection will be much stabler. You can network a win98 and winxp machine with few difficulties either way.

Yes, but you would need to have a bluetooth card in both PCs (and desktops normally don't).  Plus it sould crawl, as bluetooth is not very fast.  You would probably be able to purchase a wireless router for the price of bluetooth cards and would get better speed plus be able to share an Internet connection between the machines.\n\nBut you could do bluetooth if you wanted.

Buy a cantenna. It's a Wifi receiver that boosts the reception range of your PC or laptop's wifi card. They sell for about 50 dollars.

Buy a Wireless router and plug your broadband modem into the router.  Then sink-up the computers to the router.  That should be it.

My strong recommendation is don't unless you have a really, really good reason, eg people move desks frequently, or they're out on the road.  You're money will go further and bring you better benefits upgrading the switches and nics on your existing network to 1000Mbps.\n\nIf you really have to, then 802.11g is the way to go.  Almost any off the shelf access point will do.  You probably don't need two of them unless your office is really long and thin (even then you should get away with one).\n\nFrom the sound of it your main problem is likely to be bandwidth.  802.11g will give you 54Mbps (probably about half your current network speed) shared between all the systems on the network.  However, some (I think it's DLink, possibly Belkin) manufacturers have tweaked the protocol a little and can get 100Mbps+ out of these.  For that though you would need to standardise the office on that manufacturer's kit (or it will just drop back to the regular 54Mbps).\n\nThe actual kit you'll need:\nWireless Access Point (preferably wall mountable - get it nice and high.\nFor each desktop:  1x PCI Wifi card\nFor each laptop:   1x PCMCIA Wifi card or USB adapter\n\nYou could also use a USB adapter for all the PCs & Laptops on you network, but (and this is purely an untested personal opinion) I prefer the look of the aerials on the PCI cards for better connections.\n\nThe other thing to do is make sure that there are no 802.11b devices in your laptops (or make certain that they're turned off).  Most 802.11g access points will drop their speed if they discover a b device and 11mbps just takes too long for internal transfer imho.

Linksys has a nice wireless/wired unit that is great, I have been using mine in a big church for some time now, and it works flawlessly, and was easy to set up.

Install a wireless pcmcia adapter card if not already equipped. Have software to facilitate the usage of said card. Be near a WAP or wireless access point and join the network.

Easy, if you can afford to take a lap top in with you which has wireless capabilities use that and then no one would be any the wiser to know what you are up to, since lap tops look like large folders on the desk, well that's one way around from being blocked from your favourite web sites.

If you have broadband such as DSL or Cable then you need to get a home Wireless router. DLink, Netgear and Linksys all make models priced about the same with the same feature set, look for one on rebate. If your PC or notebook does not have a wireless card then you will need a wireless card as well. Several vendors pack a router and card in the same deal so just do some checking.\n\nIf you do not have broadband but have Verizon you might want to look at their data plan. If your in a EVDO area speeds can be very good but some programs like games do not play well over their network. T-Mobile also has a pretty good data plan from what I've read but I've not used it.\n\nIf your on dialup then your options are a bit limited although there are wireless routers that can use a modem instead of broadband.\n\nIf you find this useful please give us a thumbs up and best answer rating.
