*Setting up wireless at home*

I currently use UKOnline's 1mbps adsl service with my Speedtouch 330 adsl modem, which is connected to a laptop.
I would like to use this connection without the wires though.
I have a Dell Inspiron 1200 which is not wireless enabled. There are a maximum of 2 laptops and 1 PC in addition to my laptop in my house which would like to use the connection.
Can someone please suggest how I should go about using this adsl connection wirelessly on my and other laptops/computers in the house? And which routers are the best/cheapest?
Thanks in advance!

Replace your existing modem with an ADSL modem wireless router. Something like the Netgear DG834G would fit the bill. Not the cheapest, but one of the best (I have one). Look on sites like ebuyer and dabs if you want a cheaper one.
Your Dell laptop will need a wireless adapter, either PCMCIA type wireless card or USB wireless adapter.0
