Hi,
I've been reading through previous posts but am a little confused. I have three PC's - one desktop and two laptops. They are currently networked with a huge tangle of wires.
I want to wireless network all of these so I can share files, printers and internet connection. What I want to know is do I have to buy an access point/router? Can I just buy a wireless card for each of machines and do this?

Yes. For a primer on wireless access point, read all information (particularly Security) provided by Linksys here http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?prid=157&grid=19
