Default getting a wireless LAN on laptop to connect to LAN on desktop?(homenetwork)

hi,

ok i don't know much about this stuff so i'm sorry if i say something
silly.

Scenario:
I have one DESKTOP and one LAPTOP.

The *Desktop* has Two (NON-wireless regular) LAN cards, one of them
gets me my broadband internet connection .

Now, the laptop(i just got today) has an Integrated Wireless LAN
802.11 b/g, i'm not sure how this compares to Wi-Fi or if it is wifi,
it also has a **56K Modem**(if i can use that for the network?)

Requirement:
I need to make a network between the wireless Lan on my laptop and the
Lan on my desktop. I Know how to setup a network on XP , but I've
never gone wireless before, so my question really is .. __What do I
need on my Desktop__ so that ITS LAN (on the PCI slot) can connect to
my laptops wireless LAN? Will some bluetooth dongle do? What are my
options??

Thank You
Gideon
