The best setup: Connect the router to your computer via a LAN Cable and enable the wireless too. This way the PC will haf a wired connection and your laptop will haf a wireless one.

@zbuu, yes you can. Enable internet sharing in the laptop and use a crossed network cable to connect the laptop and the desktop.
See the guide below for doing it in XP. Not sure about Vista though
