I just got a PC Data Access Card thru my wireless company so that I can
access the Internet on my laptop.

I also have a desktop computer that I like to use.  Is there a way that
I can network these two computers together and use the wireless
connection from the laptop on the desktop?

What equipment would I need and is it hard to set up?

Thanks.

Hi
I am not sure it would work since these type of cards are not always
standard.
However you can try, you need a regular Network Card in each computer,
connecting them with cross over cable, and using Windows ICS for routing.

Or you can add a wireless card to your desktop computer as well...
