You can, but it's not that like you might think. You will have to get a switch and connect all your computers to the switch, then the computer with USB drive connected has to be setup as a gateway which is tricky.

How do you make my PC wireless?
If you mean a wireless network connection - you should buy a WiFi adapter (USB or PCI or PCI-e), install it in your computer and then set-up a new network connection. If you mean wireless as no-cable-power - there is a problem. Desktop computer uses much more power than laptop and no battery can power it for a time longer than few minutes.

You have a 2 computers in separate rooms someone told you you can link both to internet with and without a router ihave a speedstream 4200 modem dsl boardband how do you do either whats needed?
You'll need a router to hook up more than one computer to the internet and there's a wireless and wired way to do that. With a wireless router you'll hook it up to your modem and it will broadcast a wireless network which you will be able to log onto anywhere in the house. With the other option you will have to run a cable to the computer that isn't located next to the modem. Now assuming that the two computers are towers, they probably won't have a wireless card and won't be able to connect wirelessly unless you go to your local electronics store and buy one. At my house it wasn't a big deal to run the cables through the walls, and we use a Microsoft base station. It works good and requires no set up, all you have to do is plug it in. With wireless it can be a little bit difficult to set up, depending on the router, and they're also more expensive (I've also never purchased the wireless antennae for a computer but would expect it to cost not too far under $100 [you'll only need one]). If you have a laptop this is certainly the way to go, since you'll be able to access the internet anywhere in the house. My suggestion if you go wireless is to have someone you know who's 'computer savy' to help set it up. What you need, Wireless; wireless router, (if you your computer doesn't have a wirless card) a wireless antennae. Wired; a base station, an internet cable running for the basestation to the both computers.
Can you somehow network your internet connected computer so you can plug a wireless router into the computer and have this router broadcast WiFi signals that your wireless devices can connect to it?
You can. You have to have the following things to make it work: 1. A modem ( if you have cable/DSL you have one.) 2. An Ethernet cord 3. A wireless router The first thing you have to do is take the Ethernet chord and plug the one end into the modem and the other end into the input of the wireless router. most wireless routers have more Ethernet ports on it. All of your computers that hook up with Ethernet hook up here. this router isn't secure, but it is broadcasting wifi signals. in order to secure it, follow the instructions that come with your wireless router.
Do you need a wireless card in computer to use a wireless router?
Yes. There are loads of different ones on the market, from internal ones to external ones. Personally I recommend external USB ones. Internal ones are good too, but take up a PCI slot thatcould be given to something more worthwhile. Most home users cant install them. And, if and when you get a second desktop, you cant share the device.
What would I need to hook up more than one computer on the same network?

You currently have land line broadband for your PC upstairs but would like to know if its possible to modify it for wireless for your PC and Laptop which are downstairs?
No, you will have to buy a wireless router, they are nor very expensive and also buy a USB wireless dongle for your computer (if it's not already wireless) and depending on the age of your laptop; if it's modern it will more than likely have wireless built in, if not you will have to buy a wireless card OR a USB dongle.
Does it cost more to hook up more than one computer to the internet?
Perhaps. If you use dial-up internet, you would most likely have to have a second line and another account to have more than one computer hooked up. If you have DSL or Broadband service, then all you need is a network hub to provide additional connection, or you could also use a wireless router if your computers are wireless capable. With these two options, you are always connected and it does not cost to have more than one hooked up.

Can a host have more than one IP address?
One of the most simplest ways a computer, or device, can obtain two IP addresses is if you have different network cards in your computer. For example, a laptop might has a Wireless Network Card as well as an Ethernet Card. You are able to assign an IP address to your Ethernet card and the Wireless card. Remember that an IP address is not assigned to a computer, but rather it is assigned to a network interface card.
