Hi
If it involves Internet connection as well read this too.
The content of the following links will provide you with a basic tutorial
about Sharing Internet and using Wireless; it is short and to the point:
Basic Options for Internet Connection Sharing -

Hubs, routers, switches, DSL, LANs, WANs...? -
http://www.anandtech.com/guides/viewfaq.html?i=48
Wireless Principles - http://www.anandtech.com/guides/viewfaq.html?i=122
The page above was written ages ago. You might ignore the prices, and the
specific choice of hardware, stick with the principles are still the same.
