with windows xp home/pro/sp2, you can use the remote desktop connection, the server is already implemented in windows xp, the client can be downloaded free from microsoft. ( The client works well on old computers running windows 95 ^_^) The only trouble is that windows xp home/pro/sp2 only allow 1 working user at a time unless you use another software ( I use the xp unlimited terminal server) to unlock to 16 the number of active users. Hope it helps ^_^
No. You need a wireless router to connect via wireless from your laptop.
Yes.
Yes, This is for adding a wireless antenna to a desktop or laptop computer that does not have wireless built in. You still need a wireless router connected to your internet provider.

It's a matter of choice. If you like flexibility laptop will be better for you. If you do not mind to have your computer at the same place desktop will work for you.
It depends on how it's set up. If the wireless router is connected directly to the service, you should be able to connect the laptop without the desktop being turned on. If the desktop is connecte directly to the service and the router feeds from the desktop... no, you'll need the desktop to be running. No Its Doesn't.You Just Need A Modem To Be Connected To The Desktop Computers Ethernet Port
There are various types of wireless modems. A wireless antenna will connect you to a wireless network, while a Ethernet cable simply connects from desktop to modem. To obtain a digital version of your wireless manual, contact the modem manufacturer by phone or e-mail.
You buy a wireless router, wire the desktop and router to the modem, and use the laptop by getting a wireless card or usb wireless adapter.
If you have a cable connection and you don't have a wireless router you need to get one. When you are purchasing a wireless router make sure that it's compatible with your laptop wireless adapter.
I think you can do it with just a wireless router, but make sure you lock it down. http://www.komando.com/tips_show.asp?showID=8796
you do not need any cables tying down your laptop or desktop computer, also you can access the Internet anywhere in your house!
If you are talking about building of wireless network. Then you need a wireless router and a wireless network adapter (if you have a laptop you might not need it). If you have a desktop you rather will have to purchase a wireless network adapter. Pay attention to what kind of wireless network you are going to build. It can be a, b, g, and n types.
Buying a wireless card depends on if your wanting to use the laptop while not near the desktop. You can buy network cables to connect the two computers as well.
No, but you are going to need a wireless router, also known as an access point, between the laptop and the cable modem.
