I use a wireless/ethernet router between my DSL modem and my desktop. The
desktop connects via ethernet.
I then connect my laptop to the router via the wireless connection.

Most routers come with a setup disk which greatly speeds the installation
especially when the operator is not very experienced.

I managed to get the network going in 10 or 15 minutes.

Basically you'd need to buy a wireless router. The router would plug into
the ADSL Broadband modem by way of a RJ-45 network connection. The desktop
would then plug into the wireless router, again by way of a RJ-45 network
connection. The laptop and Pocket PC would connect wirelessly to the
wireless router.

Hi;
The wireless router will have web pages like your ADSL router, one page
will allow you to enter your user name and password. The wireless router
will then in effect act as your computer, allowing you to turn off the
desktop and still connect from the laptop or the Pocket PC.
