How do i hook up DSL from my first computer to my other 2 computers (a laptop and a desktop)?

i have 3 computers, one laptop and 2 desktop computers. i have one of the desktops hooked up to DSL but i want to hook the laptop onto wireless internet and i want to hook the other desktop up too. the problem is that i don't have a wall jack thing in the room where i want the second desktop computer. how should i manage this set up? is it possible to have a desktop computer on wireless internet as well as a laptop?

I just wrote a ton of stuff, only to lose it all when I was doing copy/paste of several websites at the end to help you out. Darn!! lol



Anyway, to hook up your Modem to use your connection with other computers you need a Router, and at least one, most likely two, Wireless Adapters. Your laptop probably already has a Wireless Adapter, so you just need to hook it up to the Router once you have it configured.



Physically hooking up a Router to a Modem is simple. Hooking up your currently hooked up computer to the Router is simple.



All you do is unhook the ethernet RJ45 Cable from the Modem, hook a ethernet RJ45 Cable into the Router, then into the Modem. Hook both Modem and Router to their respective power sources. Next, and last, (at least in this arrangment) is to now hook the ethernet cable you had hooked up to the Modem, into one of the ethernet jacks on the Router. Now, all is connected, right off the bat, as you have already done the Modem configuration when you initially hooked your computer up to your ISPs Modem.
