Do you need a special power adapter to network laptps to desktops?

No special power adapter is needed, because each device, is charged by it's own adapter. If laptops and desktops are connected by a wireless router, for example, the router will have it's own power adapter. However, to establish a wireless connection with a desktop , a laptop must have a wireless USB Wi-Fi adapter. This particular adapter has nothing to do with powering the device. It simply transmits signals to connect with a desktop, another laptop, PDA, cell phone, etc.

Should you connect your PC direct to 220 without a power supply?

No. A PC would needs to have a power supply in order to take a 110 or 220v power input and convert it to the basic 12v power <and other rails> it uses. Now most desktops can and do have the ability to handle 220v power. Consult your manual and make sure you have the little red switch on the back set to 220 unless your PSU is auto-switching. As always, check with your manual and manufacturer before assuming you can handle 220. Hope that helps!

Is all computer power cords alike?

Virtually all IBM-compatible desktop devices (i.e. most Windows desktops) use a standard power cord. This is usually a three pole inline , or right angled, socket known as an 'IEC' type C13 (IEC-320) the other end has a suitable plug, to fit the power outlet for the country you are in. Laptops use a special, separate, power supply. These include a 'switch mode' circuit to convert the mains supply to the low voltage used by the lap top. This power supply box may have one of several designs of mains inlet cords. These also comply with the IEC-320 regulation The two popular ones are a clover leaf (type C5 three pole) or a figure eight (type C7 two pole) design.
