I don't know your setup that you have at home,but a typical wireless connection is like this:
Internet connection goes into a modem. a modem will have an RJ-45 out which goes into the WAN port in your router. You connect your desktop/notebook to the router using another RJ-45 cable so that you can configure the router. You configure that, and unplug the cable. A restart (sometimes you may not need it) will detect wireless activity in your area. Connect to the wireless internet and you should be done.
You can PCI based wireless cards if you want to make your desktops wireless. -
from the sounds of it, you are going to need to get a wireless router at least.
Are the two computers connected to the same router? or do you have one going to each?
Most wireless routers have the option where you can plug 4 computers to it via ethernet, and then connect any wireless computer/pda to it.
how can i get wireless internet in my house?
