Anthony: Is it possible to give my desktop computer my laptop’s wireless internet?
I have a laptop and a desktop. I currently don’t have internet in my house but I’m using wifi internet from my laptop. If there any way possible to get the internet my laptop is getting to my desktop without buying any special equipment?
And what is that card called where you install it into a pci slot and it’s wireless internet into your desktop? The signal is very good here and I’m planning to buy my desktop one of those wireless thingies.
Thank you!

You need a wireless NIC. (Network Interface Card)
You could get a PC card, but you’ll get the same results with a USB one, and it’ll be portable.
If you search on the net for “802.11g USB” you’ll find a crapload of ’em.
Also, in my experience, wireless NICs put out a lot of heat, so keep yours well ventilated. I actually run the USB cable for mine into a small refrigerator, keeps it ruinning nicely.
