Answer 1

You can do it using internet connection sharing

If you're using Windows XP, you need to connect the Ethernet cord from the laptop to the desktop, and then go to Connection settings on your laptop. Then, go Properties-->Advanced-->and under Internet Connection Sharing, check the first box.

If Vista, then go to Network and Sharing Center-->on the side under Tasks, select Manage Network Connections--> select the connection you wish to share--> Properties--> go to the Sharing tab --> then check the first box.
