See http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_nr_n_0?rh=n%3A172282%2Ck%3Arouter%2Cn%3A%21493964%2Cn%3A541966%2Cn%3A172504%2Cn%3A300189&bbn=172504&sort=price&keywords=router&ie=UTF8&qid=1260045777&rnid=172504 for one.1. Router. A wireless home router (with four wired ethernet local area network (LAN) ports) is your "best" option despite your search for alternative methods. It permits: a. Your LAN to share a "single" public IP address for Internet access. b. Isolates (secures) your LAN behind hardware firewall included in most home routers. c. Usually has four wired ethernet ports for LAN. d. Provides "wireless" access to your LAN. e. BRIDGES your "wireless" nodes to "wired" nodes of your LAN. 2. Hub or Switch. If your ISP will provide or lease additional public IP addresses (Internet) to you, you could place a "hub" or "switch" between the DSL modem and your computers. Does the laptop not have a "wired" ethernet connector? 3. Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). Without a "router" or "MULTIPLE" public IP addresses issued by your ISP, the computer connected to the DSL modem needs to share its Internet connection. You can do this using the provided Microsoft ICS or other third party software, but you still have to connect the laptop to desktop host. You might do this by: a. Adding USB wireless adaptor to desktop. b. Adding second "wired" ethernet adaptor to desktop if laptop already has "wired" ethernet adaptor (you only said it has "wireless" card) and an ethernet "crossover" cable. c. Using "firewire" cable with compatible connectors for desktop and laptop firewire ports (they may require different physical connectors). Assumes both computers have firewire ports (and an IEEE-1394 network adaptor built-in?). d. Using special USB "bridge" cable with additional networking software. (Must not use regular USB cable or you could electrically damage both computers). 4. Reference(s): a. http://www.home-network-help.com/index.html b. Network Diagrams for Home Computers c. Windows XP Internet Connection Sharing d. Microsoft ICS, or Internet Connection Sharing e. AnalogX Proxy f. Firewire Facts: What's a 1394 Network Connection? g.
