Help in sharing DSL connection to a laptop

[Elroi]

here's the set-up:
1. desktop PC with pldt dsl in my room (using pldt modem PL-DSL1)
2. laptop in kid's room

paano ba i-share dsl connection ng desktop PC sa laptop in another room. gusto ko wireless na sana, at kahit naka-off ang main pc ay magamit pa din ng laptop ang internet.

pa-explain naman po ng detaylado kung pano i-connect.. ano kailangan na parts (at magandang brand), pati na sana yung estimated cost..

TIA

basically you'll need a wireless router connected to your existing modem.
here's the link home networking

PLDT DSL modem --> wireless router --> a. wireless notebook adapter, b. wired/wireless yung desktop, your call

Linksys palang nagamit ko, user friendly naman.

isang wireless router lang ang kelangan mo. if the laptop does not have wifi capability, then you will need a usb wifi adapter or pcmcia wifi adapter.

fyi, the PLDT PL-DSL1 modem-router is configured to just act as a modem. it can't share internet connection with the other ports.

you might also need to consider where to place the wireless router kasi hindi masyadong nakakapenetrate ung signal sa mga concrete walls. i'm also using Linksys ung WRT54G v7

thanks guys..

i only need to share the internet connection. di kailangan i-share yung mga files kasi mga kids ang gagamit ng laptop, baka makita mga secret files ko..

eto yung nakakabit sa laptop;
LINKSYS INSTANT WIRELESS-B NOTEBOOK ADAPTER
MODEL NO - WPC11 V.4

isang cement wall ang pagitan ng 2 rooms. kung wireless router, pwede ba nya magamit internet kahit naka-off yung main pc? anong model/brand ang compatible dito?

wireless router nalang bilhin mo. ok na yan. automatic ng magshare ng internet yan. yung files, need mo pa magsetup ng home networking para magshare. so don't worry sa mga secret files mo

and kung 1 cement wall lang, kayang kaya na yan. dito sa bahay, 3-5 cement walls, may signal pa.
