All the info I find on ad hoc (1 pc -1 laptop) always mention adding a
wireless card to the desktop (main pc with dial up)
Would a USB wireless do the trick as easy or better yet a wireless router
wired to the (already existing) internal card on the desktop?
The laptop has a built in intel wireless already. Mostly want to share
files, maybe internet with ICS. Just seems easier and cost efective to pick
up a wireless router and do the job. Commets please?
Thanks

Wireless router is the best way, for many reasons. The wireless then is set
to "infrastructure" mode, not "ad-hoc mode.
