Hi cellquery.

Browse this G2G Home Networking Guide. Browse to Post#3 - it should explain everything.

Basically, your internet cable is connected to the router, which is connected to one of the computers (the desktop) via a Cat5 cable. The other computer (the laptop) will access the router via a wireless card.

If you have problems after reading the tutorial, please post back the specific steps and errors.
