All this is courtesy of Cnet which has provided step by step instructions and they have explained it a lot better than I can:\n\nAgain Thanks to Cnet:\n\nStep 1:\nGetting started\nA broadband connection brings the Internet into your home at blazing speeds. And with a wireless, or Wi-Fi, network, you can get that access on multiple computers throughout your home--and even outside it--without cords. What's more, today's wireless-networking products make broadband Internet sharing easy, inexpensive, and secure. In this Weekend Project, we'll show you how to distribute broadband Internet access among multiple notebook or desktop systems, and we'll walk you through the necessary steps to keep your network protected.\n\nThe core of a Wi-Fi network is a wireless router or gateway. We used the D-Link DI-624 AirPlus Xtreme G 802.11g router, which sells for $99 before a $20 rebate. You'll also need a wireless adapter for each system that connects to the network. We installed two D-Link AirPlus Xtreme G 802.11g wireless adapters: a DWL-G650 PC Card adapter for a Windows 2000 notebook PC ($65 before a $10 rebate) and a DWL-G520 PCI adapter for a secondary desktop running Windows XP Home Edition ($69 before a $10 rebate). The primary PC, connected to the router via an Ethernet cable, was running Windows XP Professional.\n\nStep 2:\nWhat you'll need\nBefore you get started with this project, we recommend that you have the following:\n\n    * A wireless router\n    * Wireless adapters and/or a wireless-enabled system or laptop\n    * A broadband connection to the Internet (typically via cable or DSL modem)\n    * An Ethernet cable\n    * Pen and paper to write down current network settings, such as IP and MAC addresses\n\n    * The IP address assigned to your system by your ISP if you use a static IP address\n    * If you use DSL, the username and password assigned to you by your ISP\n    * The MAC address for all wireless network adapters\n\nStep 3:\nPrepare for installation\nYou may need a few bits of information to set up your router correctly. Double-click the Network Connections icon within Control Panel and right-click the icon for your PC's Ethernet adapter. Then choose Properties > Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) > Properties. If "Use the following IP address" is highlighted, your Internet access uses a static IP address. Jot down the IP address, the subnet mask, and the default gateway. Then click "Obtain an IP address automatically." Click OK to apply your changes and OK again to close the dialog.\n\nYou'll find your Ethernet adapter's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway within its Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties.\nYou'll find your Ethernet adapter's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway within its Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties.\nYou'll find your Ethernet adapter's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway within its Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties.\n\nIf you have a DSL connection, you'll probably need the username and the password your system requires to connect to your ISP. If you don't know the values, try looking within the software your ISP provided. You may need to uninstall the PPPoE connection software that your ISP provided. To find out, check your router's documentation.\n\nNow is also a good time to collect the MAC addresses of any wireless-network adapters you'll be installing. The MAC address should be printed on the Wi-Fi PC Card or the PCI adapter.\n\nStep 4:\nInstall the router\n\nConnect your modem to the WAN port on the router and your PC to an open Ethernet port on the router.\nConnect your modem to the WAN port on the router and your PC to an open Ethernet port on the router.\n\nMost DSL users will probably need to choose a PPPoE connection type.\nMost DSL users will probably need to choose a PPPoE connection type.\nBefore you install the router, power down your PC and modem, then disco

I would suggest picking up a wireless router. you could do an ad-hoc network but if you want to share the internet connection, your best bet is to use a small router. for about $50 dollars you can pick up a Linksys WRT54G and have all your bases covered.   ofcouse you'll need wireless network cards for each of the computers. the documentation with the linksys router will guide you through the process. also check out some info on wireless security.

There are many ways that networking can be helpful in office buildings or at home.\n1) Sharing resources, such as storage, backup, printer or scanner.\n2) Sharing data between users. Share documents, databases etc.\n3) Same user accessing data from different locations, using a roaming profile. A user can log in to different computers and use them as though they were one and the same.\n4) A wireless network just extends the network from nodes at specific points to nodes anywhere.\n5) Transfering video data from surveillance cameras. Using a network saves having separate (expensive) wiring dedicated to the video cameras.

Mostly I think that you will need the proper antenna.  Ask yourself a few questions \n\n1 do I neeed to cover a large area ?\n\n2 do I just need to stretch point to point between two routers/computers\n\nif question 1 is yes, you are going to need professional help\n\nif question 2 is yes all you need is a yaggi (sometimes called a cantenna) antenna.  You simply replace antennas and  aim them at eachother.  Simple

I use a Linksys router (they are $30 to $100 depending on where you are and if your need RF or not).\nAdd a couple cables and go.  It will do all the login and ip addressing work, so once you set it up you never have to touch anything again. \n\nI have also used one computer to feed another, but it had 2 network cards.

I would suggest a solution of Wireless LAN Bridging (WiFi) ... It would be very effective in 1 Km distance it would give throughput of 24-36 Mbps which is quite enough for most applications. check Cisco, D-Link , and USrobotics devices and solutions.
