My Desktop is connected via a DSL Modem. I don't have a router. I want my friend to be able to use her wireless-enabled laptop when she comes round. Can I simply install a wireless network PCI card in my desktop and connect the two that way? And how would I set it up?<br />

Thanks.

Accessing Broadband using Wireless Network Card

The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as digital subscriber line (DSL), cable, fiber optics, wireless (for which there is a separate topic), satellite and broadband over powerlines (BPL).
