Wireless Laptop
"Currently in my home I have a desktop computer that is for family use, and I have a laptop for work. When I bring my laptop home, I have to unhook my DSL line and hook it to my laptop. My laptop has a wireless card built in -- can I get a router that can go wireless, and have a line to go to my desktop, that is not wireless?"
Yes, a router with wireless capability will solve your problem. You can connect both the desktop and the laptop to the router with a network cable, or use a wireless connection for the laptop. Since you have a wireless card in your laptop, that's what I would recommend.
For more help setting up a home network, see my Home Networking article. But don't expose the computers on your wireless network to the entire world. See Wireless Security for help securing your wireless network.
