I know sounds noobish but never had to run a network because I always had 1 computer but now my cousin who just bought  a DS computer ( recommended by me) asked if I could run a network from the new computer to the old through WiFi. Of course she tells me after I bought the computer for her....aarrghh..
So basically I want to figure out what I need to buy and how to do it.
