Get a router. Connect the router to the ADSL modem. Connect each PC to the router. Most routers offer wireless. Avoid mixing brands.
My setup is all D-link. Cable modem, router (wireless for my laptop), three desktops wired, D-link NICs in the desktops , D-link wireless card in the laptop.
With this type of setup the D-link equipment discovers each piece and since they know each other, configuration is painless.
Good luck,

I've got 2 WinXP desktops which have been directly networked through cabling. One comp has an ADSL connection so it's shared thru the network.
now I've got a Centrino laptop which I want to bring in, and since the wiring slots on the desktops are taken up Im thinking of going wireless. my laptop supports 802.11b/a. I want to hook up my laptop so that I can share the net connection especially, and also share my files and printer.
Whats my best option?? what hardware do I need to get?? any recommendations?? router?? access point?? about routers, something I dont understand is, my ADSL modem is a USB device, does it hook up direct to the router or thru a comp? (any hardware independant of a comp?)
Also im concerned abt compatibility and performance.
