What you will need is a wireless router like a Linksys or one of the other brands. I am assuming that you are using a DSL/Cable Modem. You plug the modem into the wireless router (it's marked so you can't miss it) and you plug the hub into one of the inputs in the router. After going through the setup for the wireless router, your wired network will have immediate access. You will need a PCMCIA card for the notebook.

It would be well worth your effort to do a little research on how to secure the network.
