routing capabilities, you will need to add a wireless network adapter to the Compaq. The type of adapter will depend on what type of ports that are available on the laptop.
After that, and dependent on the OS's being used, you will set network settings to:
1) file and print sharing being enabled
2) some folders set to be shared
3) workgroup names the same
4) firewalls down or excepting file and print sharing/LAN traffic
