Hello,
Following are my components at hand.
1. My super awesome desktop with the regular gigabit, on board lan card (on Win7).
2. A laptop, with wireless connectivity (again on Win7).
3. A modem, UTStarcom WA3002G4 with an internet connection from BSNL.
The modem is a wireless modem.

Now for my question.

I want to be able to connect the laptop and the desktop in a single LAN connection, so that

i)I may play NFS Most Wanted on both the laptop and desktop through the LAN play.

ii) I may share files and folders, fast and without any hassles.

*though mostly only the first

So, this being my completely descriptive question, I request help from all quarters. Any kind would be greatly, exceptionally, and exceedingly

appreciated (nothing more I can do sitting in front of a comp ).

Kindly request you to give detailed steps, so as to help the noobs as well.

looks like it has built in 4 port switch,
so take to PC and plug it into one of the ports
configure the wireless feature on the modem
configure the laptop to access the wireless.
that should do it.

It's not the connection to the internet.
I have connected the laptop and the desktop to the modem as you've said. But I wanna know how to connect each other to access each other's files and folders.

And please explain the steps that you are referring to by saying 'configure'.

Thanks.
