Hello,
I currently have a dsl line plugged directly into my desktop computer. I would like to be able to connect my labtop to the dsl connection wirelessly. I do not know the exact equipment that I will need so any help will be greatly appreciated. My desktop is an old P3 800 mhz set up while my labtop is a new IBM think pad. Both computers have Windows XP Pro on them. Any help will be much appreciated. Cost is not that great of a concern as long as it is not a ridiculous amount of money.

Thank you

Buy a wireless home router. Remember to get one with Ethernet ports if you still want your desktop to be wired. I always find that having a printserver in the router is nice so every machine can send jobs to the printer, but that is up to you of course. Unfortunatly, I don't have any advice on brand of router, but there are a bunch of other threads on that subject.
