connect second computer to internet

Question

Hi, this is the first time I have used this.  I have a Dimension 4700.  I am thinking of getting my son a 3100c or a laptop for his bedroom and wondering what I would have to do for him to be able to connect to the internet.  I dont necessarily want to be able to link him to the 4700, its just the internet connection I'm wanting.  Can anyone help with what I need.  I have heard of a router or something but thats about it.  Thankin you in advance.

You would need a router and a nic card for his system. I would go with wireless - no cables to run!

I would read these articles:
