install internet sharing on the laptop
buy a "crossover" cat-5 cable (this is critical only a crossover cable will allow you to connect two PC's together)

what I think XPCMan was trying to say is that you get a cross overcable connect the laptop to the comptuer, and yes you do need a crossover cable to link them properly (mudasar the crossover cable is needed due to the protocols in effect on PCs) then select to share the wireless over the LAN (using control panel if you have XP, im not sure with vista) by bridging the connections in the connections area..... (you right click the wireless connection and select bridge connections)

if you wants to do that, only two ways to do that.

1. make a crossover wire

2. buy a switch (only needs RJ 45)

It appears that the desktop PC needs two NIC cards or one card with two sockets: one for the incoming DSL internet line and the other for the laptop cross connect cat 5e cable. Please, is this correct?

check to make sure 'wprk offline' isn't checked in the tools section of your brpwser. If you are using Explorer it is the Tools toolbar to the right on your screen.

Use Crossover Cable in order to connect both desktop and laptop together. Also, you can try using various remote support services such as gosupportnow.com, logmeinrescue.com etc in order to share files, folders etc.
