You have several possibilities.
You could buy a WLAN PCI card for your other PC, but you would be unable to use the DSL connection, unless you would install a proxy program.
I am not sure if you can mix an Access Point with your router.
The best solution (and probably most expensive one) is to buy a WLAN DSL router.
Most of them have four cable LAN ports and can be used like your current router.
I did the same at home and it is working just fine.

This actually sounds like a good idea. Just basicalyl buy a Wireless Access point and add it to your existing network. Configure it to have your original router as your gateway as well as all settings to come from your original Router.

Wait, wait, wait...since the laptop has wireless capabilites ingrained, why do you need to connect the two pc's? Why don't you just have your laptop pick up the wireless signal from the router?
