What hardware does the laptop have (modem, NIC, card port, USB port)?

Do you want to get on the internet with the laptop and if so, does it have a
modem? If so, why does it have to be connected to the desktop?

Or, are you just interested in getting some games and transferring them to
the laptop?

I dont want the computers to be hooked up together all the time, just to
get a few games on the laptop, as it has no CD rom drive....could I do it
that way?

It depends on the hardware capabilities of your laptop.

I'd go with a wireless router and a wireless laptop adaptor card (if the
laptop has a card port) so you could retain the mobility of the laptop;
however, if your PC has a NIC port, you could use a cable which would
also
save you a few bucks. Go to buy.com (for example) and search on:
"wireless
router" and "wireless card laptop."
