Step 1. Unplug ethernet wire from desktop computer. Step 2. Plug the ethernet wire you just removed into your laptop's ethernet port. Step 3. When finished browsing the internet or when portability is desired, disconnect the ethernet cable from laptop and return to the port on the desktop.
Untrue. You CAN access the internet with a desktop. There are two primary ways just like a laptop. You can either hook an ethernet cable to the PC or you can attach a USB-attached Wireless device that will access the internet in a wireless manner the same as a laptop. Laptops normally can also be directly be connected to an ethernet cable. The desktop access is normally limited to access you pay for since most people can't easily take their desktop down to their local coffee shop to access free Wi-fi!
Just connect the Ethernet cable (RJ-45 crossover) to the laptop .Then you will get the connection.

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
You can connect your laptop to the Internet with a cable modem, sure. You will need an Ethernet cable to do that. If you want wireless internet, you will need a cable modem, and a wireless router as well.
