How can I do this

All the PC's can see each other, nic1 is bridged with nic2 in XP
What is the cheapest way to add the laptop with wirelss access to the internet/LAN ?

can I simply buy 2 USB wireless adapters ?

will 2 bluetooth USB adapters work ?

(I cannot redesign the LAN because of wires already done under floors, so no Router...just simply want to add the Lappy)

Thanks.

You could buy a wireless access point and plug it into the hub and wireless card (usb/pcmcia) for the laptop.

As Above.

Nice and simple, IIRC though you will have to set the router to Access Point mode.

Cant you put the router where the PC Is, thats not going to affect the cabling surely?
