Can someone tell me what i need to create a wireless network with 2pc's. I have 1 pc upstairs and 1 downstairs. The pc downstairs has adsl broadband and the 1 upstairs isnt connected to internet, i want to share my broadband from downstair's to my other pc wirelessly and i want to know everything i need. Both pcs have nic's and i use a usb modem. I also need to keep it relatively cheap.

A simple wireless router should be the only new thing you need to buy. Instructions come with the router but essentially all you want to do is plug the DSL into the uplink/WAN jack and the wired stuff into the remianing ports. Naturally you wont have to connect anything to the wireless :P
A lot of guides here on specifics: http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/

I use LINKSYS Wireless G 54Mbps Broadband Router, Model WRT54G $78.99 and LINKSYS 54Mbps Wireless-G PCMCIA Ethernet Adapter, Model WPC54G $61.99 (Purchased at Newegg.com) and I have no probles.
there are cheaper units out there but this set up works well for me.

You can share everything from your main, although that isn't really adviseable. You will have to drop your main computer firewall for the other computer see the main computer, and the same thing with the 2nd computer if you want the main computer to see it.
