Hi guys,
on a similar vein, tomorrow I am buying a laptop with wireless LAN. I already have a PC with wireless LAN capability using an ADSL modem for broadband. What do I need to get the internet connection to the laptop. I am a bit confused with routers and access points etc.
Thanks,
Graham.

Ideally An Wireless ADSL Router that you can plug your ADSL modem into and then connect to with the PC and the Laptop
buy a laptop with centrino - flick a switch and go... make sure you get one that supports 802.11g though.
i have a sony and its fab... Vaio Z1XSP with a LinkSys WAG54G adsl wireless router - which also supports VPN's if you want to do remote corporate stuff.

...or an all in 1 wireless router, ethernet hub and adsl modem, like the 9106 by US Robotics. (ETA: about 115 quid)
I've just installed one (replacing my usb adsl modem) and wired my desktop to it and uise the laptop wireless. And it all magically works...

Main benefit is that there doesn't need to be a "modem host" pc, as I didn't want to have to leave one on all the time.
