Hey buckmoy,
You need something like the Linksys WRT54g or Netgear WGR614: both of these will use the ethernet cable that your desktop machine currently uses to "split" the connection, kind of like a four way plug.
Both of my suggestions have the ability to connect wireless and wired clients simultaneously, so you can both surf at the same time.
Hope this helps,
Phil.
