You could but I don't know how easy it would be to set-up, and yuur PC would need to be on all the time.

Assuming you have broadband, since your laptop already has wireless you would be better off putting the money towards a wireless router.

You should pick one up on www.adverts.ie cheap enough.

Alternatively if you have a spare network port on your router youcould get a wireless Access point and connect it to your existing router.
