I'm just starting to learn about networking.  I have two desktop computers running WIN95B.  I have a laptop running WinXPHome.  All have internal modems for dial-up Internet connection.  My objective is to network all three so they can simultaneously connect to the Internet.  The laptop may or may not be present when the other two computers need to access the Internet and I would prefer that the laptop be connected wirelessly so it can be moved from room to room.

My idea is to connect the two desktops through an Ethernet network and then wire this network to a wireless router.  The laptop would connect wirelessly to the router. If that is possible my next question is how to make the internet connection.  Can I simply use one of the internal modems already in one of the desktop computers?  Would the other computers in the network be able to share that In
ternet connection too?  If sharing an internal modem won't work do I need to connect and external modem to the router for the internet connection?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
