Call your ISP. They might have to configure your connection for wireless access

You need to to set up your desk top as a wireless system too. You don't have to change the way you internet is hooked up to it, but you need to set it (the desk top) up wireless too. Then share teh internet with both. Your desk top will work on the regular internet and the laptop on the wireless. Search the internet on wireless networking.
