Could anybody help a noob set up a wireless network

The plan is to have a desktop computer connected to the internet via a router and a laptop which can connect wirelessly to the internet via that router.
I don't know where to start so any help would be much appreciated.

If you are using XP use the networking wizards.

Don't lie jasparado their are only 17 people live here and I know all of them.

What I really want to know is what kind if router should I be looking for and what configuration will be involved?

What type of internet connection do you have? ADSL or cable? I'll beable to link you to a router if you tell me.

If your laptop doesnt have built in wireless then use the usb attachement on the laptop. (top one)

If your laptop is wireless then all you need is, (2nd one down)
