The serial port thing was for the older computers before USB came along. So there are some computers that can not hook up to an USB as they have no connections but then you can always buy a card or external USB adapter. I do not know that much , but to connect to the internet you need a modem for your desktop pc. I presume that you can hook up to the internet thru your laptop and then want to get a connection so you can get the internet on your desktop pc. Good luck if you ever find a way, but parting the Red Sea might be easier. lol. But if in the USA call one of the big computer stores, as they may have something.

Its so uncomplicated its no longer humorous you employ a 9 pin comm port deliver a DTR sign to it a single transistor inverts the best judgment and aspects the present for the relay coil I did that over 2 an prolonged time in the past when I invented the money drawer that opened via software command on an 8 bit Atari laptop . Later changed it so it may artwork on Novell community Stations so Video shops could use them. further a modem port DTR command to the tip of the printer ordinary. after reciept printed drawer opened locate the line feed pin on your centronics port and use the printer line feed command to alter state of pin will flow severe for a quick length . feed the severe right into a NPN transistor with a sturdy voltage furnish at collector coil voltage will look at emitter till base is going low

You can hook up an external modem (dial up 56K modem) through the serial port, but your laptop probably has a 56K modem inside already. You need "modulation/demodulation" (modem) of some sort to communicate "with" the net.
