Can I set up a wireless network without hooking up the DSL cable into the laptop. There are 5 laptop users in my house and none of them want to be stuck at one place. Is there any wireless solution so that we can take our laptops around the house? Thanks a lot!

A good wireless router will do the trick. Try microsofts website for step by step instruction and for securing your connections. Also cnetdownloads has good instructions for setting up wireless connections.

get a wireless router. You can connect your DSL line to it and then the router to your desktop or just conect to the internet through your laptops from there. That way everyone can access the internet. Remember the more you have in the house online the slower the internet speed.

Tip: don't enable WEP/WPA protection. This will make the signal significantly slower. Just hide the SSID.

yes you can,,, but check first if your laptop are WIRELESS READY if not... buy a wireless PCI card... then have it setup by wizard...
next
you buy a router with wirelesss... it can accomodate the radius of your house... with 10/100mbps... then if it is already installed let the wireless network wizard takes place...
hope it helps... please rate my answer... thanks!
