how can i set it up so that the laptop and the desktop both can connect to
the internet...first i was told i need to set up a bridge then belkin tells

Hi
It will help if you would tell us How the desktop is connected to the
Internet and how you are connecting the Wireless Router to the desktop.

Hi
So basically you are trying to connect both your Router and the Desktop to
the Modem.
It can not work this way since only one device can connect to the Modem and
obtain IP.
You have to connect the Modem to the Router's WAN port, and then plug the
Desktop to the Router.
Basically looking like this, http://www.ezlan.net/network/router.jpg
Then you have to configure the Authentication for RR.
