    You're better off getting an internal PCI wirreless card as opposed to a USB dongle for the desktop PC

    In my experience they tend to be more reliable

    why get a wireless pci card?

    all you'd need is a wireless router which you may already have depening on your broadband supplier

    connect the pc through ethernet and the laptop wirelessly.
