Set both the notebook and have set up the Ethernet connection. You should see “Local Area Connection” icon in the tray on the clock. Both computers in the symbol should be illuminated. Click “Start” and “Network Places” and the second notebook name to appear on the screen. The second notebook, the notebook name first appears in “My Network Places” display. If your notebook is not listed, check the cable connections and configuration. Also make sure “workgroup” name on both laptops are the same.
Remember, if you want to connect same device to same device, you will need a CROSS-OVER cable:
White/Orange Pin 1 ———– Pin 3 White/Green
Orange Pin 2 ———– Pin 6 Green
White/Green Pin 3 ———– Pin 1 White/Orange Pin
Blue Pin 4 ———– Pin 4 Blue
White/Blue Pin 5 ———– Pin 5 White/Blue
Green Pin 6 ———– Pin 2 Orange
White/Brown Pin 7 ———– Pin 7 White/Brown
Brown Pin 8 ———– Pin 8 Brown
After you have your Desktop connected to your Laptop, and they have connectivity, then you can use your Wireless interface of your Laptop to connect to wireless.

You can also use an ethernet switch in between with regular cables, in place of a cross-over cable.
Assuming you are running windows on the laptop.
You will have to go into Network Connections.
Select both the wireless and wired connection –> right click
Select “Bridge connections” and go from there.
I do the same thing as I have multiple computers and only have wireless where I live.
Good luck!
