How do you access the broadband at the moment? USB modem? Usually a router is required for a proper network.

Hi

You need an ADSL router first of all. If the laptops have built in wi-fi that should be all, if they don't then you will need to get PCMCIA cards for each laptop not wi-fi ready .. e.g.

Netgear DG834GT & WG511T
Bundle Comprises:
- DG834GT 108Mbps Wireless Modem/Router
- WG511T 108Mbps Wireless Laptop Card

The ADSL Router and or wireless solution is the best solution, and is what I use at home. 1 laptop has wireless onboard, the other I bought a cheap PCMCIA wireless card for and it all works well.

If cost is an option though you could set up Internet connection sharing. You will still need to network the machines but you wouldn't need the adsl router. The downside though with this is that the primary machine (the one connected to broadband) would need to be switched on for the other(s) to access the internet.
